How do I get the images into the order I want them?
Sure Tony,
First of all, you can hold the Ctrl Key and select The thumbs you want to include.
Then when you right mouse and select rename, it will rename, and bring up the second one for renaming.
But you can use rate as a tool for that.
Method 2 My choice since you have many images.
I would select the images that I wish to rename, (Perhaps 50) and place them in the ON DECK screen.
That isolates the ones you want from the ones you do not want to rename.
Next, I select all, and Auto Rename.
Set the auto rename similar to the attached screen snap, and OK.
Whoosh! All sequentially renamed.
Let's say it is a very rare occurrence, but Someone Unnamed made a mistake and wants to replace one number with a different image.
All you do is delete that image using Right mouse, and delete.
The place the new image in the folder, and run Auto Rename again.
It will find the missing number and use the new image and rename it to the same number the removed image had.
Method 3
Yes you can sort by Ratings,,, and you know you can change ratings and the sort will change too.
The filenames will stay as they were originally.
Just right mouse the thumb and select the rating.
To sort by rating, click EDIT, Sort Thumbs, and select by ratings/.
