How do I rename multiple photos

Renaming multiple photos is a mess in Vista, it numbers photos in a random
way, not in the order the user wants them. Any solution?

Use Picasa, it's also free. It's easy to use a lot of other functions. To
rename just highlight the photos then put a name.

Re: How do I rename multiple photos

To rename, select more photos and rename; you get same name plus a number
for each photo: ex JaneDoe(1).jpg, JaneDoe(2).jpg etc.

To keep it simple, I organize photos in separate folders named by the type
of event, date or whatever other criterion.
Then, I select all photos in the folder and rename them.
That makes for easier backup; I just paste folders on another hard drive
then just add the newer ones.

Of course, you can get fancier w/ tags, photo album organizers and so on.
Vista has such features; just type Photo Gallery in the "Start Search" box.
Also, many pics organizers available to download on the web.

Re: How do I rename multiple photos

No, I never heard of that program. I do not take many photos, so I just
rename the whole folder downloaded from the camera's SD card and then
'Select all' and 'Rename' inside the folder.

For anything more complex, I guess it's better to use a photo
organizer/album with tags.
