Renaming Files

Symbol

Description

#

This symbol will be replaced with the value of a counter that increments itself by 1 passing from one image to another. If you specify this symbols in sequence you'll get leading zeros if the counter value has a lesser number of digits, for example ### will produce the sequence: 001, 002, 003, etc..

%F

This symbol will be replaced with the file's original name, excluding the original extension.

%E

This symbol will be replaced with the file's original filename extension.

%N

This symbol will be replaced with original image enumerator. For instance, if the original filename was IMG_9876.JPG, this extracts the "9876" portion. If the filename has more than one group of digits embedded in it (for example, IMG_123_456.JPG) only the first number will be used ("123" in this example).

%M{format}

This symbol will be replaced with the file modification date. The formatting of this date (and optionally time) can be specified by adding a standard formatting code in curly braces. For example, "%M{%Y-%m-%d, %T}" would be replaced with a date and time like "2010-04-01, 15:02:01".

%D{format}

This symbol will be replaced with the date that the photo was original taken (normally determined from the EXIF datestamps embedded inside the photo). The formatting of this date (and optionally time) can be specified by adding a standard formatting code in curly braces. For example, "%D{%Y-%m-%d, %T}" would be replaced with a date and time like "2010-04-01, 15:02:01".

%A{identifier}

This symbol will be replaced with the data that has been specified by the identifier. For example, "%A{ general::dimensions }" would be replaced with a size like "320 x 240".
