Ok i want to download lots of files with random names and option get them all or download all tabs

Can i using flashgot mask option can change their names growing numbers? Using *num* give growing prefix to each downloading file in one sesion but always the same.

Im looking for something like *num+1*.*ext*

Mmmm, something suggests me you're using FlashGot with DownThemAll. The renaming feature belongs to the latter.

I was worried that the second picture named 1.jpg will overwrite my first picture named 1.jpg. The current version of Flashgot seems to pick this up and rename the second copy very nicely so I don’t lose my stuff.

That is not a function of FlashGot.

Though ... if you have selected (Browser Built In) & (SeaMonkey) Preferences | Downloads set to automatically save files to a specified directory, then duplicated filenames are automatically incremented. So with an existing "trains.jpg", the next saved file is trains(2).jpg, then trains(3).jpg, ... trains(xxx).jpg.

(At least that's how it works in SeaMonkey. Perhaps FF is the same?)

So long as all the names are unique (no dups), I would think it easier to rename the files in mass, after the fact, using a file renamer utility.
