Batch Rename
|
|
|
|
| · | Rename files in the same directory
|
| · | Rename and move files to another directory, most likely from a camera or removable drive to your local drive
|
| · | Rename while creating copies in another directory
|
| · | Create links in a Catalog (this can also be done directly in the Explorer)
|
|
|
| Original filenames: 10140008.jpg
|
| 10140009.jpg
|
|
|
| New filenames: Jamaica 2004_11_01(056432).jpg
|
| Jamaica 2004_11_02(056433).jpg

|
|
|
| The new filenames were accomplished through the following steps in the Rename Mask:
|
|
|
| · | Dropdown #1: Custom Text: Jamaica
|
| · | Separator #1: Space Character
|
| · | Dropdown #2: Modification Date format: yyyy_mm_dd
|
| · | Separator #2: Open bracket
|
| · | Dropdown #3: Database Record-ID
|
| · | Separator #3: Close bracket
|
|
|
| 1. | Original Name: use this to preserve the original filename
|
| 2. | Name extract: copy a part of the original filename by defining the start and end positions
|
| 3. | Replace Part: replace a string in the original filename with another string
|
| 4. | Custom text: add a prefix or suffix to your original names
|
| 5. | Incremental #: destination filenames are numbered starting with 0; leading digits are filled with 0
|
| 6. | Creation Date: taken from the file. For format options see Date Format String
|
| 7. | Modification Date: taken from the file. For format options see Date Format String
|
| 8. | Title or Filename: uses the title from the Annotation Editor, or if empty, uses the original filename
|
| 9. | Image Resolution: width of the image in pixels
|
| 10. | Database Record-ID: unique number taken from the CodedColor XML database
|
| 11. | EXIF field: select the EXIF field from the dropdown
|
| 12. | IPTC field: select the IPTC field from the dropdown
|
|
|
Important
| · | Renaming looses the original filenames. If you don't want this, then set one of the three Renaming Mask dropdowns to Original name.
|
|
|
| · | Sometimes you may get name collisions, if two different source names result to the same destination name. You can prevent this by adding an Incremental number in one of the renaming mask dropdowns, preferably the third one.
|
|
|
| · | Never change the filetype in the renaming mask. Do this only, if all your source images are of the same fileype, and you want to change something like JPG to JPEG or TIFF to TIF. If you actually want to change the filetype of the images, use the Batch Conversion utility instead.
|
|
|
| · | Renaming in CodedColor usually preserves sound attachments. This is not the case for renaming or file operations in the detailsview / iconview of the Explorer.
