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?

    Kathy Sierra has an interesting post on the Creating Passionate Users blog, about how to get our users past the “P” Mode, a reference to digital cameras. There’s a terrific, if somewhat lengthy, conversation taking place in the comments as well. I’m sure I’ll have something more to say about the idea, but I want…
