Hi NG,

I need to rename a large amount of .jpg-files.
These files are needed as input for another program, which processes
the files according to their name: e.g.: file-1.jpg, file-2.jpg,
file-3.jpg, file-4.jpg, ...
The initial ordering has to be done manualy, but I need a pgm to help
me renaming the files.

TIA, Henning

Plenty of commercial programmes will do this (ACDSee for example) but a
great small freeware utility - written by a friend of mine in Sweden - is
Revix, available at http://www.bahnhof.se/~smars/quivis/index.html This is
best known for making automatic thumbnail indexes, but also has a renamer,
visual sorter, personaliser etc. Very useful tool.

Why don't you use a batch file to do both processes in one step.

c:
cd picture/jpegs /or whatever directory the jpg files are stored in
ren house.jpg file-1.jpg
ren kids.jpg file-2.jpg
etc etc

Save it as text file called pics.bat.
Click on Start and then Run and type in cmd and press ok.
CD to the drive and directory that you saved the pics.bat file.
type in pics.bat and press enter.

Doing this will do the ordering and rename all of the files for you in one
go. One caveat is that you need to make sure that there are no files in
the directory already with a file name that you want to end up with - ie
none called file-2.jpg.


Cheers, John

Use au instead of invalid for emails to me.

if you have paint shop pro on your comoputer (or know someone who has it)
then use it

It does a dandy job on image editing too

I've had mine just about 36 hours and it looks as if I may end up buying
both adobe photoshop elements and paint shop pro tsk i am so indecisive

Hi JC - just did it in PSP using File -> Batch -> Batch Rename

I used custome text witha sequence in the Batch Rename to digital images
stored in 5 directories covering about 500 images (I think - can't be assed
lookinf to diucle check.

In 2 words: easy-peasy

Iwanted the sequence to run contiguously so all i had to do was to check the
sequence numbers to make sure everything joined up correctly

lovely feature!

Along with all the other suggestions, irfanview can do this nicely, look
under 'batch rename'. You can do some batch processing on the images at the
same time if you wish too.

http://www.irfanview.com and it's free too

I've used irfanview, renamemaster.exe http://jackass.arsware.org/rm.php
works well and is freeware. Google show lots of rename programs. I looked at
one but couldn't figure out how to use it!!! Sorry about the name of that
link, probably a youthful type but his prgram does work.
