how to arrange photo,s.ive got a folder of about 100 pics and therye all named randomly,for example ac-43 then the next one is c-012 and so on
can i name them holiday -1,holiday -2,thru to holiday -100 in one foul swoop or have i got to rename all 100 photos individually
if i can rename all of them without typing holiday 1,2,3,4 etc etc would really like to know how
thanks so much

There should be a 're-name' option when you right click on the folder.Like that you overwrite the default setting.

i was hoping to somehow be able to type (holiday -1) on the first picture in folder and then for all the other 99 pictures to be labelled in order from the first pic for eg holiday -1, holiday -2, holiday -3 etc etc if that makes sense
i know i could go thru the slow painful proceess of typing holiday then the number on all 100 pics individually but was hoping i might be able to label the first pic and for the pc to arrange in order if such a thing can be done
thanks

Get a copy of Irfanview (it's free from all good download sites) or direct from http://www.irfanview.com/

This program is photoviewing software and it has a rename function - just select the folder that contains all your pictures then add all the files to the process and then set the name you want e.g. photo### starting from 1 will rename all the files photo001.jpg to photo100.jpg. Make sure you select save to this folder in the option box. Depending on size will take a couple of seconds.

Until you are confident of using the software do not select the "overwrite the existing file" option!

Hope this helps.

in my pictures folder lets say ive got 2 folders one named holiday and one named family for example and i take some pics with camera and the camera labels them c3-001 to c3-057 and i put those 57 pics in the holiday folder butthen if i take another say 12 pics to put in family album and the camera labels these c3-001 to c3-012 then the pc says do you want to replace pics because youve already got pics named as c3-001to c3012 in another folder
i think its the jpeg files what are in a folder that need to be renamed so they dont clash or how do you stop your camera naming a file with the same name as it has done already on another memory card for example
or if you have 2 different pics with same file name but in different folders should it not matter or does it
thanks so much
