Subject: Re: Potential Feature Request for Flash Renamer
Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 20:00:10 +0200Hi,
I think that your problem is too specific to be added as a feature, but it would be possible to solve it by creating a script that has an internal counter! If you know a bit of programming it should not be too hard to do. Have a look at the examples I ship together with FR to see how to work with scripts.
