<title>Renaming Files</title>
<p>To rename one or more images using a name template, select the
files in the browser and choose
<guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Rename</gui></guiseq>, or press
<key>F2</key>.</p>
<p>The name template is simply a pattern that is used for
renaming all of the selected images. You can use some special
characters to make the new names differ each other (this is
essential if you are renaming more than one image, and optional
if you are renaming a single image):</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<p>Symbol</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>Description</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>
<key>#</key>
</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>This symbol will be replaced with the value of a counter
that increments itself by 1 passing from one image to
another. If you specify this symbols in sequence you'll get
leading zeros if the counter value has a lesser number of
digits, for example ### will produce the sequence: 001,
002, 003, etc..</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>
<key>%F</key>
</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>This symbol will be replaced with the file's original
name, excluding the original extension.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>
<key>%E</key>
</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>This symbol will be replaced with the file's original
filename extension.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>
<key>%N</key>
</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>This symbol will be replaced with original image
enumerator. For instance, if the original filename was
IMG_9876.JPG, this extracts the "9876" portion. If the
filename has more than one group of digits embedded in it
(for example, IMG_123_456.JPG) only the first number will
be used ("123" in this example).</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>
<key>%M{format}</key>
</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>This symbol will be replaced with the file modification
date. The formatting of this date (and optionally time) can
be specified by adding a standard formatting code in curly
braces. For example, "%M{%Y-%m-%d, %T}" would be replaced
with a date and time like "2010-04-01, 15:02:01".</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>
<key>%D{format}</key>
</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>This symbol will be replaced with the date that the
photo was original taken (normally determined from the EXIF
datestamps embedded inside the photo). The formatting of
this date (and optionally time) can be specified by adding
a standard formatting code in curly braces. For example,
"%D{%Y-%m-%d, %T}" would be replaced with a date and time
like "2010-04-01, 15:02:01".</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>
<key>%A{identifier}</key>
</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>This symbol will be replaced with the data that has been
specified by the identifier. For example, "%A{
general::dimensions }" would be replaced with a size like
"320 x 240".</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>A summary of these special codes may be viewed by clicking on
the Help icon inside the template field.</p>
<p>The list at the bottom of the dialog displays how the
filenames will be renamed.</p>
<p>To rename the images click on <gui>Rename</gui>.</p>
<p>If the renaming of an image can overwrite an already existing
image you will be asked how to proceed, five options are
available: overwrite the image; do not overwrite the image;
always overwrite; never overwrite; specify a new name.</p>
