Feature request: Renumber needs a Backwards option
It would be nice to be able to specify the number position backwards.
I want to accomplish the following:
1 file 1.txt --> 1 file 01.txt
2 file 2.txt --> 2 file 02.txt
file 4.txt --> file 04.txt
For this I need to be able to specify, that the 1st number backwards needs to be targeted.

Hi Adrian,
I don't really understand what you are trying to do, but can't you just click on the "Filename" column header and reverse the order of the files?
Best,
DF

No. He wants to reformat the *last* number in a filename that might have a variable quantity of numbers before it.
So, the bestest way is for the renumber method to have a "backwards" option or to honor "Number position" settings like -1, etc.
It is a good feature request.
Of course there are several ways to work around this using JavaScript, but not as simple and elegant.

Ah, thank you Obe Wan, now I understand! :)
Given the examples you could use a replace method:
R: (\d+)$
RW: 0$1
Regex: Yes
EDIT2: If more than 9 files, make the Replace:
R: field \D\K(\d)$
RW: 0$1
END EDIT2
But you guys are right, "backwards" number would be great in renumber, EDIT3: because what if there were more than two numbers and you wanted the *second* from the end, for instance.END EDIT3
EDIT Or the "Handle negative numbers" could be extended to the "Number position" field... END EDIT
