Edit My Images
Yes
I have recently had an update done to my bulk uploader on my site and it now requires me to name all my image files with three digits so instead of [filename]-1.jpg it has to be [filename]-001.jpg and annoyingly Lightroom only starts at 1 not 001, does anyone know of a patch or standalone prog that will take my files, keep them in order and rename then to have a three digit number to them?

Cheers in advance.
 
You can do this under Lightroom. If you select the files you want to rename, press F2. Then select Edit in the File Naming drop down.

Here you can select the format of the renaming string. What you are looking for is to include "Sequence # (001)" in your string.

Save your edit for future use. When you select the string you can start your numbering at 001.

Hope that helps.
 
Cool. Just another feature in Lightroom I never knew existed. Cheers.
Obviously this has to be done before exporting or can the edit be used when exporting as I often use original filenames when importing then custom file name when exporting?
 
Ok just had a play and it works the same on export, I have made a custom sequence to rename all my files in three digit format upon exporting.. Cheers.
