Batch rename

Don’t you just hate it when you transfer your files from your digicam and they all have names like DCSCN001 or DSCN2075 or CIMG750? If you want to save time and group images by date/batch/event, here’s a nifty trick for you, which I only found out about tonight.

You can actually rename files in Windows in bulk! So you can use something descriptive for the images instead of some generic filename. Just highlight all the files that you want to rename in one group and press F2, type in the new name, then press enter. Alternately, just highlight, right click, rename, and voila, your files will be renamed with that name, followed by (1), (2) and so on..you get the picture. It’s a great way to keep files organized in a jiff, imo.
