Batch renaming?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I find myself in need of a tool that I’ve never really needed before. It seems that our newest addition to the digital camera collection we have going starts it’s file naming process over from 1 whenever you put in a new SD card. So if you’re on a trip or out somewhere taking lots of pictures and you fill one card, and start on another, you wind up with two pictures named the same when you try and copy them all into one folder on the file server. I’ve looked at some various freeware sites and found a rather large number of batch file renaming tools, but I’m asking now for recommendations. Anyone got one they absolutely love?

    As you can see from Angela’s post about our trip to the Newport Aquarium, little Dylan seemed to have the best time when she gave him her digital camera and let him wonder around taking pictures. They’re not too shabby for a 3 year old. Anyway, she and I are thinking of trying to find…

    As a quick update to the post about Internet bottlenecks. Our networking folks spent a couple of weeks doing random traffic captures, both inside the firewall and having the ISP do it outside the firewall. Nothing really significant was found, no malware tying up bandwidth, no one streaming video all day long, nothing at all…

    I was working out of our new remote office today. Our CIO, along with some others, came up with the idea to try and make sure we have IT face-time with the folks in this office at least once a week for the first few months since it’s opening and this week it was my…
