Creating a renaming template
On the Import From dialog box, you can create, name, and save a template that gives each file
a unique name as they are imported and placed on your hard drive. You can then re-use the
template each time you import photos. Renaming templates can have a numerical sequence,
custom text, and file-specific information in each new file name. You can create and save
different renaming templates for different sorts of files. For example, you could have a different
renaming template for a different camera, or a different type of file.
To create a renaming template:
1. On the Import From dialog select Rename files to.
2. From the drop-down list, select one of the following system templates:
x Date/Time - File name: renames the files using the date and time each file was
created and the original file name.
x Date/Time: renames the files using the date and time each file was created.
x Camera - sequence number: renames the files using the camera name and a
sequential number.
