Digital photos - renaming ?

[John Fitzsimons]

I am pretty sure that some months ago a program that would re-name
digital graphics was mentioned here. I don't just want a file re-namer
I want one that can use the exif (?) photo data for the new name.
Perhaps incorporating the date the photo was taken.

Can anyone here remember/recommend such a program please ?
A "how to" would be an added bonus.

Regards, John.

That could be Siren rename
http://www.scarabee-software.net/


I use the rename expression jdb%Xdod@%Xddt.%le to rename DCS_0001 to
jdb20041226@164511

where
jdb = my initials
%xdod = the exif date in yyyymmdd form
@ i= @
%xddt = the exif time in HHmmss
.. - .
%le = extention in lowercase

IIRC several apps can do this (THE Rename?). . .

Here's one (can't help with the how-to - I haven't tried it):

Program: SetNameToTime (v 2.1)
Author: (Åke Storck)
W: LFW
Ware: v 2.1 (now $ware)
http://www.slunecnice.cz/product/SetNameToTime/

I use:

Program: Cam4you
Author: Hans-David Alkenius
Ware: Donationware
http://jpegclub.org/cam4you/

and name the images by date and time as I get them from the camera.

Ware: v 2.1 (now $ware)

I use this. Although mine is very old, I see. I have v0.6.

Anyway, I have this in the context menu for JPGs so that after dl the
pix from my camera, I run them all through this app so that I get
pictures named with the date and time rather than weird numbers.

I then use Oscar's Renamer (a super, incredible renaming app), with a
macro I created just for my digicam pix and it reformats the name for
me. All that takes about 10 seconds. Then, still using Oscar's, I
create a quick macro to customize the names of the digicam pix.

So I'll start with a weird set of digicam picture names and end up
after renaming with something like this:

2003.05.18.Sn, 13h39m08s- Tulip Festival '03.jpg
2003.05.18.Sn, 13h13m32s- Tulip Festival '03, many people!.jpg
2003.05.18.Sn, 13h14m33s- Tulip Festival '03, many people!.jpg
2003.05.18.Sn, 13h15m23s- Tulip Festival '03, Flotilla boat.jpg
2003.05.18.Sn, 13h18m05s- Tulip Festival '03, Tulip Patrol.jpg
2003.05.18.Sn, 13h22m18s- Tulip Festival '03, Laura-Lee.jpg
2003.05.18.Sn, 13h29m21s- Tulip Festival '03.jpg
2003.05.18.Sn, 13h33m29s- Tulip Festival '03.jpg
2003.05.18.Sn, 13h35m34s- Tulip Festival '03.jpg
2003.05.18.Sn, 13h36m37s- Tulip Festival '03.jpg
2003.05.18.Sn, 13h37m02s- Tulip Festival '03.jpg
2003.05.18.Sn, 13h13m15s- Tulip Festival '03, arriving.jpg
2003.05.18.Sn, 13h41m03s- Tulip Festival '03, Shark Alert!.jpg
2003.05.18.Sn, 13h41m24s- Tulip Festival '03, Shark Alert!.jpg
.... (actual example)

I usu. keep the names simple like this, but in the case where there
are special pictures, I then manually add bits of descriptive text as
in half of the pictures above.

Hey, thanks for this post <g>! I see there's another newer version
than the one I have re Oscar's Renamer. Anyway, the website for
Oscar's is:
http://www.mediachance.com/free/renamer.htm

Hmm, I just dl the file and although everything points to a new v1.1,
the file dl is v1.0. Other than that, Oscar's is fantastic!

Good luck!

Thanks for both links.

You were right in your other post. Exifer was the one that had been
mentioned before.

Flexible Renamer has worked just great for me.
