Dropping the 100_ from file names
Pablo Galvez, Photographer
Calgary | AB | CANADA | Posted: 10:51 PM on 11.13.04
->> Anybody know a good program for batch renaming my 1D file names so I can keep the 4-digit portion of the file and change all of the "100_'s" to something else?

For example,

Change 100_0001 - 100_0234

to Soccer_001-Soccer_0234

Thank you,

-Pablo

Actually there are several. Photoshop CS has an easy way of doing through the browser. ACDC does it too.

->> Sorry, I forgot to mention I'm on PC.

Devin, ACDSee does batch rename but not how I want it to.

Hassel, that looks like it might work - I'll try that.

Delane, I havn't used Downloader Pro. From the description on the website it describes "flexible" renaming options... do you know if it does what I want to do after I've already downloaded the photos?

Thanks to all!

->> You can also use Photo Mechanic. There is an option there to start numbering the files at a specific number. Just change the start number to the first number of your image. From what I know Photo Mech. is the best program out there for batch-renaming and captioning. I would say go with that for sure.

->> Thanks, guys. I don't want to change the existing 4-digit file number for the images, only remove or customize what is in the 100_ portion of the file name. I typically use ACDSee for batch renaming because it is quick and easy but it doesn't do what "1-4a" Rename does.

I am now happily renaming files with this "freeware".
