How do you converge files from multiple folders when they contain overlapping filenames? Daniel has taken the time to provide instruction on how to use two cameras to make a digital copy of your books/magazines. At some point during that process you will need to converge your image files to a single directory before you can generate a PDF document from the resulting images. I created a windows vbscript (tested on XP, but should work on other windows platforms) that you can utilize to reset the ordinal filenames. For example, you can reset all the image filenames of the left camera to be odd numbers, and reset tall the image filenames of the right camera to be even numbers. As a result, any process that generates a PDF document based on the filenames, can preserve the correct page order. The below video will show how to use the script.
Alternatively, you can use a spreadsheet to quickly rename files. Here is a video on that matter. Though, these instructions are for windows, the concept can be exercised on other platforms as well. And here is the video
