    Hello,

    Here are a few steps to check and alter your batch renaming process to ensure that each image gets a unique number:

    Check the renaming pattern: Ensure that the renaming pattern you are using includes a unique identifier for each file. This could be a sequential number, a timestamp, or any other unique attribute. For sequential numbering, the pattern should increment the number for each file (e.g., Image-001, Image-002, Image-003, etc.).

    Check for duplicate files: Before renaming, make sure there are no duplicate files in the batch you’re renaming. If duplicates exist, the batch renaming tool might give them the same number if it doesn’t automatically detect and resolve naming conflicts.

    Rename in smaller batches: If you’re renaming a large number of files, try renaming in smaller batches to see if the problem persists. Sometimes, software may have issues with very large batches of files.

    Best Regards,
