# Renaming-All-Files-in-a-Folder-Sequentially
## Description:
This script renames all files in a specified folder sequentially, starting from 1.ext, 2.ext, and so on, while preserving the original file extensions. Directories and hidden files are ignored.
## Features:
Renames only regular files.
Retains file extensions.
Sorts files alphabetically before renaming.
Handles invalid folder paths and permission issues gracefully.
Skips empty folders or non-renamable files.
## Usage:
Save the script to a file, e.g., RenamingFiles.py.py.
## Run the script:
python RenamingFiles.py.py
Enter the folder path when prompted.
## Example:
Input: Please enter the path to the folder: /path/to/folder
Output:
Renaming files...
- File 'image1.jpg' renamed to '1.jpg'
- File 'document.txt' renamed to '2.txt'
- File 'report.pdf' renamed to '3.pdf'
- File 'notes.docx' renamed to '4.docx'
- File 'music.mp3' renamed to '5.mp3'
Renaming completed.

## Permission issues:
Error: Unable to rename file 'image1.jpg' due to permission issues.
