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:

1. On 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:

3. In the Template field, type a word or phrase to use in each file name.

4. 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.

2. Click 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.

3. Click OK to return to the wizard.
