 Casper's Guides to the digital world for Non-Geeks This step is not really necessary, but it makes life a lot easier later, and is quick and easy. By renaming, every pic you take will have a unique identity, which you will understand when searching in the future. If you don't rename, you will end up with many pics all called 'IMG0001' or similar. Note, it is important that you have no blank spaces, apostrophies or unusual characters in the filename. Use only standard alpha(a-z) and numeric(0-9) figures, and dash (-) or underscore (_). Open Irfanview, and open the batch convert utility, by clicking on File/Batch conversion, as here;  You will now see this screen;  Now click on the 'look in' box, and browse to the folder with your pics. Click on the 'Add all' button, and you will now see the pics listed on the left. Now click on the Batch rename button, and then the 'set rename options' button. You will now see a screen like this;  Now fill in the name you want to give the pics, as you see here, I have used a where/when name, and put the '#' sign after, which means they will be given consecutive numbers. If you use the '$' sign, it will put the old name on the end. Click on 'rename input files', and then 'overwrite existing files'. Now click go, and you will return to the 'Batch coversion' box. Click 'Start', sit back, and smile. Previous :: Next Site design by Clive Leech
