Python/DOS scripts to copy, sort and rename files.

Image
This script clears the  folder, sorts all  files from the  folder, and copies them into  with sequential names like , , etc. Python Script • The Python script scans the sub‑folder named "images". • It collects all files ending with ".jpg", sorts them alphabetically by filename, and then processes them one by one. • Before copying, it deletes the existing "new_images" folder (if present) to ensure no old files remain. • It creates a fresh "new_images" folder. • Each ".jpg" file is copied into this new folder and renamed sequentially as "image_001.jpg", "image_002.jpg", …. • The numbering uses three digits with leading zeros for consistency. rename.py import os import shutil src_folder = "images" dst_folder = "new_images" cwd = os.getcwd() print("Current Working Directory:", cwd) # If the target folder exists, clear it first. if...
