Creating a renaming template
On the Output Options page of the Get Photos Wizard, you can set up a template to rename your files
as they are placed on your hard drive. You can create a template with a numerical sequence, add
custom text, and insert file-specific information into each new file name.
To use a renaming template:
1On the Output Options page of the Get Photos Wizard, click Edit.
2 In the Edit File Name Template dialog box, do one or both of the following:
•In the Te mplate field, type a word or phrase to use in each file name.
•Click the Insert Property button and select specific properties to add to each file name. The
property is added as a placeholder, e.g., <Date>. When the file is renamed, the actual date is
inserted into the file name.
3Click the Insert Sequence Number button to add number signs to your template. Any number
signs (#) in the template are replaced with sequential numeric characters, starting at the number
you specified in the wizard. For example, if you enter ###, the first photo copied will be
numbered 001, the next 002, and so on.
4Click OK to return to the wizard.
