Title: renaming Post by: afeakes on November 24, 2009, 08:03:42 PM Would it be possible to have an option to force lowercase for both filename and extension?
Also would it be possible to have an option to rename to use 3 letters for the month e.g. "oct" or "dec" or "jan" etc?

Thanks for the reply. I wouldn't say its crucial but I think it would be a nice feature to save having to use multiple processes/applications.

The beauty of using yyyy-mm-dd at the front end of a file name is that list of image files are automatically sorted in a logical order. If you had feb, mar etc. instead of 02, 03, the file list would be all over the place. I recently used Flashpipe to download a couple of years worth of images from my phone camera and used the folder naming of month number - name. In that way I have them all segregated by year and month and images in each folder are in sequence. I didn't need to have the month name in the file name. See screen capture attached. Terry.

I understand your point but I have always used the sequence no from the camera as the first part of any filename and being from the UK like to keep my numerical dates as dd/mm/yyyy. Here's hoping... Thanks Alistair Title: Re: renaming Post by: Terry-M on November 26, 2009, 06:36:38 PM Quote and being from the UK like to keep my numerical dates as dd/mm/yyyy. Well, so am I from the UK , there are quite a few of us in this happy band. ;DI never thought of yyyy-mm-dd as a US thing, it's just logical. I believe mm-dd-yyyy is the US norm. Terry.
