Auto-recognize sets of similar files for more helpful naming schema

Feature Request

There’s a bunch of scenarios where naming is required to disambiguate within a set of similar files — think a folder of invoices.

It’d be great if QuickName could either have a “this is a set” type button when bulk selecting, or, better, do some quick checks for potential sets (e.g. items within the same folder, or files that are all the same type and nearly the same size).

With sets, a great way to name is by front-loading the differentiating factor, say by listing the month + year first for a folder of bills. Effectively, help people see the sequence by scanning the first couple words.

    Just tried running this prompt on a set of related files, and got inconsistent and unhelpful results. It’s not surprising, but yeah, there’s really no awareness of whether / how multiple files might relate.

      Thanks for taking the time to dig into this and for sharing the prompt you tested.

      You’re right about the behavior you’re seeing. Right now NameQuick has no real concept of a shared context across a bulk selection, so each file is effectively handled in isolation. Given that, the inconsistent results you saw are expected.

      I agree that this is more than a prompt issue and would require thinking through set awareness at the app level. I’m still spending time evaluating whether and how this should work, since it has some non-trivial design and UX implications.

      I appreciate you surfacing the problem so clearly. I’ll update this thread once I’ve had more time to think it through.
