5. Working with PhotoLine / 5.4 Browse

5.4.8 Batch Rename

This function renames all image files of the current browse window (see chapter 5.4) according to given rules. You define the rules by entering a small command line. The command line consists of commands, which are enclosed in curled braces (i.e. "{EXIF Day}"), and fix parts of the new filename. For example if you are entering "Test{#3}", all filenames will start with "Test" and a continuous 3-digit number will be appended. There are two types of commands: short and long ones. The short form of the previously used "EXIF Day" is "ed".

Example shows how a resulting filename may look like. "PhotoLineTest" will be used as source filename.

Because there are many different commands, that can be used, the commands are separated in 3 parts and every part has its own command list to enter a command at the current cursor position in the command line. The 3 parts are Variable Values, EXIF Values and IPTC Values (see chapter 7.4.90).

Variable Values offer the following commands:

EXIF Values has the following commands:

IPTC Values has the following commands:
