To be able to rename many files in one operation, you need to determine how the files should be named sequentially (and uniquely) beforehand. For this purpose, create a renaming profile before starting the renaming process.
The filename can be composed of various elements:
- Basename in the "General" section:
Here, a basic name can be set that will apply to all files, e.g., "Vacation." - Numbering in the "Sequence" section:
A sequential numbering can be added to ensure each file has a unique name. For example, numbering can start at 001 and increase incrementally. - Metadata from the capture in the "Metadata" section:
Various metadata, such as the capture date or the camera name, can be included in the filename.
The order can be freely chosen when creating the renaming profile by dragging and dropping the elements into the desired sequence with the mouse.
Once the profile is saved, it can be selected during the import, export, or batch renaming of files.
Example:
If the profile is set so that the filename consists of the base name "Vacation" with the suffix "2024," followed by numbering and the capture date, the filename could look like this: "Vacation-2024_001_20240615.jpg."
This way, photos from a family vacation can be quickly and efficiently renamed to allow for better sorting.
