Batch rename files based on folder name I'm looking to rename a large number of files based on the folder name in which the file resides.  Most folders only contain one file (usually a PDF but could be Word or other files) and I am looking to only change the file base name and not the extension.

Current folders:


Preferred outcome:


Note: It's unlikely that there will be two of the same file types in a folder.  I'm keen to avoid sequential numbering to all files but if there is a way of adding sequential numbering only in the event of two or more of the same file types then that would be great (although not essential). 

I've had a look at Automator but I'm a novice.
I’ve been using the very powerful paid app A Better Finder Rename for many years for complex file and folder renaming needs. Perhaps this app will help. I think it has a free trial period, too.

You can find it here.
