Re: Rename errorin Vista - multiple file rename

Hi,

I tried to reproduce the steps and it worked for me.
So I'm probably missing something

Are the file names in the form

01 Track.mp3
02 Track.mp3
03 Track.mp3
04 Track.mp3

or

01 Track 1.mp3
02 Track 2.mp3
03 Track 3.mp3
04 Track 4.mp3

?

And just to make sure I understand, the problem is output out of order -
like file 6 being renamed file 1, etc. Is that correct?

Thanks!
