Using

Syntax

The number of characters can be adjusted by adding a ":1-8]" (without the quotation marks) instead of "]", where "8" - the number of characters.

Example 1

Use a mask filename "[=random.Number:1-10] - [N]" at group renaming for random order of files (from "music.mp3" get "7374632904 music.mp3")

Example 2

Make new columns view or edit existing. Add column with "[=random.HEX]", click "Ок" and back to main window. Select resulting columns view. Left click on column header with random numbers for enable random sort. Now, select all files and make group renaming with mask "[C] [N]". We'll get randomly placed files, numbered in order starting at 1.
