Click the tabs in the Batch Operation dialog box to define criteria for renaming files:
q Rename -- Give your images brand new file names. Sequentially number the file
names by adding a counter.
q Renumber -- Change the numbering scheme of file names.
q Change Case -- Convert file names to upper or lower case, etc.
q Replace -- Change some text in the file names.
q Add -- Extend file names by inserting additional text to the file names.
q Crop -- Make file names shorter by removing text from the file names.
q Repad -- Add one or more zeroes to a file name when the length of its numeric
counter is inconsistent with other file names. (For example, if you have file names
File001, File002 and File3, the last file name will be changed to File003.)

Note: Select Tools: Auto Rename afterwards if you prefer to apply a more organized
numbering scheme to your files.
Changing file sequence by drag-and-drop
If you want to change the sequence of certain files, you can manually rename and
renumber them. An even simpler way is to drag the files to your desired locations
in the same folder. When you drag a file to a different location, Photo Explorer
renames the file automatically so that it sorts to the new position.
To resequence files by drag-and-drop, they should first be arranged by order of
file name. If files do not appear in this order, a message box appears and prompts
you to sort your files. The table below shows examples of how files are renum-
bered when you move them around in the same folder. In the “Sample result”
column below, the second file name indicates the newly inserted file.
If.... Sample result
previous and next file names have equal File10, File15, File20
number of counter digits... Or, File10, File10a, File11
previous file name has lesser number of counter File2, File21, File22
digits than the next file name...
previous file name has greater number of counter File35, File36, File4
digits than the next file name... Or, File39, File39a, File4
