Gen: Problem Solvers quiz: moving an exs instrument with same named samples

2002-06-04 by roman pirie

I have many drum samples from various cds. I am organising them into drum
type folders eg kicks, snares, hihats etc. I use the exs load multiple zones
feature which allows me to go through all the samples auditioning them
audibly then adding them if they are in the category I am sorting eg
rimshots. Then I can move the instrument into a folder called rimshots.

Here is my problem: I have loaded all the rimshots from various cds but some
have the same file name eg rim01. This means I am unable to save them to a
folder all at once because my computer won't save seperate files with the
same name.
I know I could go in and rename each file, it's just that it took me a while
to scan through all the samples to collect all the rimshots and it is a
hassle to go back and rename. Ideally the mac would give me the option of
renaming files that have the same name as it saves.
Any workarounds available?
