Mass Renameing Photos based on Date

[dh52726]

Namexif™ is a tool to automatically rename photos with the date they were shot.
Digital cameras have their own clock and record the date to each photos with a precision of a second. Since the date and time is recorded for each photos (provided it is an EXIF compliant digital camera), Namexif™ is able to rename these photos according to the date.
Doing so will:
make chronological order same as alphabetical one,
set a unique name to your photos

Have not tried, but seems good, also has the option to save the original file name at the end of the new file name

best bit is it's free!

Sounds great!

Another great little renaming tool i found was ReNamer.

You can make up any number of rules to apply to a batch of images or other files. You can change extensions too.

Considering most people here would have adobe bridge, that also has the same features built into it. IT's under tools-->batch rename. (ctrl+shift+R)

I've been looking in all the wrong places to do somthing like that.
Looks like I'm about to start using Adobe Bridge more often.

Thanks Lazarus

Another one is Irfanview, which is also a freebie.

ive been using bridge as my DAM for a while now and the batch rename is invaluable
