The file-name game

Extracted from DL 26 feb 2008

NameExif gives you the ability to select the digital camera files and as long as the images have EXIF ( Exchangeable Image File ) data, the program can renae using the time and date stamp of the image.

This gives a unique identifier and a beautifully sequenced set of hpotos that could very well help with organising a digital photo album or collection.

One can download NameExif from http://www.digicamsoft.com/softnamexif.html.

2. Choose rename and type in a name followed by a pair of parentheses surrounding the number. Example : holiday(1).jpg
3. After renaming the single file and selecting a group of images, ou will notice the rest of the files have inherited the new name and are sequentially numbered.
