Sequence Renamer

Overview

Sequence Renamer was built to solve a repeated production problem where shot sequence naming got out of sync and artists had to rename large file sets by hand.

The tool is a C#/.NET Windows Forms desktop app. A user selects one sample file, and the app auto-detects folder path, extension, and inferred pre-text pattern before applying rename operations across matching files in creation-time order.

Users can change text around sequence numbers with full freedom, renumber from a chosen start value, and apply optional zero-padding for clean, consistent output naming.

To reduce risk in production, Safe Mode creates a backup snapshot before execution and Undo can restore from backup or reverse the last command, significantly lowering manual errors and renaming time.
