Incrementing number for duplicate files
Is there a way to have an incremental number increase per duplicate file, if there any, while just adding a fixed number to unique files?
Example:
AAA.jpg
BBB.jpg
CCC.jpg
CCC.jpg
CCC.jpg
Desired result:
AAA_1.jpg
BBB_1.jpg
CCC_1.jpg
CCC_2.jpg
CCC_3.jpg
I'm aware of the collusion setting, but it only applies the number for duplicate files.
Example:
AAA.jpg

AAA_1.jpg
BBB_1.jpg
CCC_1.jpg
CCC_2.jpg
CCC_3.jpg

You will need to do this in two stages...
First: renumber the duplicates as normal, using the Name collision rule "Append number" with Separator = "_".
This will return...
AAA.jpg
BBB.jpg
CCC_001.jpg
CCC_001.jpg
CCC_003.jpg
Second:
In a separate batch use a regular expression to match filenames without a suffix and add "_1"...
Replace: "(^[^_]*$)"
With: "\1_1"
Use regular expressions
and (in the same batch) add a Renumber method to remove existing zero padding...
Number position = "1"
Change to: "Relative to existing number"
Number difference: "0"
Zero padding = "Manual"
Number length = "0"
