Photo Naming Format

[OzGrant]

G'day,
Each salesman has an iPhone, and I get into problems when the photos are copied to the PC.
Is it possible to change the format from IMG_nnnn to something with a date format in the photo file name.
My old phones had a naming format of IMG-yyyymmdd-nnnn.jpg
Tks
Grant

This is not possible.


You can use (assuming PC, not Mac) the DOS command REN to block rename all of the files in a folder, but they have to be on the PC first.

REN *.* 20130201*.* will add today's date to all files and leave the file extension unchanged.

You need to navigate to the correct folder first using CD.

Thanks for you reply Kevin,

Thought that was the case after reading the user guide. Will just have to add a bit more code to the import program to now sample the file properties.
