Halfling Caravan Games Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I am using Affinity to create card games or other cards, and with the way a number of programs and game websites handle file names I was wanting to find a way to force Publisher to add leading zeros so that the files would be listed in the same order regardless of which site or program is looking at them. I couldn't see any settings to let me do that. Current Setup: FileName_1.png, FileName_2.png, FileName_20.png, FileName_21.png, etc What I'd like: FileName_001.png, FileName_002.png,..., FileName_197.png, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Which OS do you use? - Why not just rename all files afterwards via some OS scripting/batch (aka batch rename sequential files by padding with zeros)?

Because it could be 90+ files and I'm not up for manually renaming those? It would be great to just be able to know if Affinity can do it for me. That's all. Count the pages being exported, then pad zeroes as needed. I'm using Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted November 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hi Halfling Caravan Games, Welcome to the forums As far as I'm aware this isn't possible I'm afraid.

v_kyr Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Well there are a bunch of possibilities to do that afterwards with filenames via renaming (Win tools, MS Powershell, batch jobs, python etc.). A comfortable GUI based Win tool to use would probably be ... Bulk Rename Utility ... here. Otherwise see for examples ... How to add leading zeros to a batch of file names before a key character using powershell How do I add leading zeros to an image sequence in Windows Batch? Batch rename sequential files by padding with zeroes TC multi rename leading zeros How do I add zero padding to filenames that already have numbers in them? ... and so on - a Google search should give hundreds of examples ...

I know those sorts of things exist, I hand around enough artists who for search engine purposes load repetitive tags to the end of their image names. I was looking specifically for a work around in Affinity Publisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking specifically for a work around in Affinity Publisher. AFAIK APub doesn't support or offer these things.
