Hey guys!

I tried looking for something like this in the web but could only find broken/impractical scripts or bogus download pages, so I made it and decided to share for future generations. The way it works is it takes all the files in the folder you run the script on, and given a choice it either turns the filename into "randomxx - filename.ext", "randomxx.ext" or you could use it to remove the "randomxx - " tag to undo what you did.

Well at least I hope that's the way it works, so be careful and use at your own discretion!

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
$farray=_FileListToArray(@ScriptDir)
Global $temp[UBound($farray)],$error=1,$count=0,$random[UBound($farray)+1],$ok=0
Do
    $flag=InputBox("Filename Randomizer","Hello, this script works in the folder you run it on, so be careful!"&@CRLF&@CRLF&"1 to randomize keeping name"&@CRLF&"2 to randomize ditching name"&@CRLF&"3 to remove randomized tag")
    If @error=1 Then Exit
    Switch $flag
        Case $flag = 1
            $ok =1
        Case $flag = 2
            $ok =1
        Case $flag = 3
            $ok =1
        Case Else
            $exit=MsgBox(5,"error","You must input a valid option")
            If $exit = 2 Then Exit
    EndSwitch
Until $ok =1
If $flag=1 Or $flag=2 Then
    ProgressOn("Filename Randomizer","Organizing files...","0%")
    For $i=1 To UBound($farray)-1

Generically speaking......

What I've done in the past for this type of situation was (and i don't have the code handy)

rename the file to date + time + extension

IF that exists, then date+time(including seconds) + 1

and so and so forth.

i think it was like 4 or 5 lines of code and I was able to rename over 40k files like that.

granted it's ugly because your filenames are all 111112222333.jpg but i have photos stored by year/month

and the beauty of it is, how many files are created at the exact same second? not to many. and if one ever gets out of place, you know right where it belongs..

I imagine it won't work for every situation. but if you're willing to randomize a file name for the sake of uniqueness, then perhaps the date/time approach will be helpful.

@guinness I bet if someone rated those it would be a solid 5 star considering you're good unlike me.

@blitzkrg I know, I started with something really simple but then I went 'oh what if I wanna do this or that, or do it this way, or if this happens, or put a progress bar because it looks like it froze etc' and so I ended up with the abomination you see here.
