Work directory
	Insert here the full path of the directory whose files are to be renamed. Use the "browse" button to choose from an interactive directory tree list.
New name format
	Insert here the format used to generate the new names. Note that original extensions are left unchanged. This string tells to the program how to format the new sequential file names; this is a standard C-language "printf()-style" format string, but do not worry if you do not know C programming language, every information you will need is given here: if you want a simple sequential number (no trailing zeroes, no other characters), specify %i ; names will be 0.ext, 1.ext, 2.ext, ..., 9.ext, 10.ext, 11.ext, ..., 99.ext, 100.ext, ... . if you want to add a simple constant text label, add the desired label before or after the %i, e.g.: file%i . Do not use the percent sign inside this string; Otherwise, you can use a format string composed by a preceeding text, then the placeholder for the value and a following text. The placeholder itself is composed of a leading percent sign, followed by an (optional) padding size indicator (the number of total characters which compose the number representation, including digits, spaces and punctuation); if you put a zero "0" before this indicator, the padding character is the zero, otherwise the space is used; and an "i" character, which stands for "integer number". Examples are provided in the following table. Format string Result %i 0.ext, 1.ext, ... %03i 000.ext, 001.ext, ... file-%i file-0.ext, file-1.ext, ... %2ith 00th.ext, 01th.ext, ...
Starting number
	Insert here the number from which you want to start the numbering. It may be zero, one, or any integer number. If you start with 5, the files will be renamed as file05.ext, file06.ext, ...
Sorting criteria
	These two drop-down lists lets you specify if you want to sort the files in ascending or descending order, on the basis of creation time, last write time or last access time.
Log listbox
	This listbox contains the full list of the renamings, the first column contains the original names and the second one the new names.
