#Photo file renamer for mac iso#
The date and time are written in a way that is actually ISO 8601 standard (thank you Frank for telling me that!) and is the only format that's truly chronological, from largest increment (year) to smallest (second). Here's the breakdown of my naming structure, for those unfamiliar:ĮventName_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS_CameraFileName_©JosephLinaschkeYYYYĪt the time of import, you typed in whatever the event name was, and the system took care of the rest. This file naming scheme tells you exactly what the photo is and when it was takenįrom the filename alone, we can see that it's a photo of a Black Bear, shot on January 03 of 2012 at 5:48 in the evening. Here's a screenshot of an old set of photos of mine in the Finder… This formula told you everything you needed to know about the file without opening it or looking at its metadata. Each photo was renamed on import with my own special formula. However in Lightroom CC and in Apple Photos, the original is hidden from view and so you don't need to worry about organization or, presumably, file names.įor long time readers, you'll know that my preference was always to store images in a year > month > day folder hierarchy, meaning I had a folder for ever year, and inside of that one for every month, then in that, one for ever day (for which photos existed, of course).
If you were an Aperture user and working referenced, then you had a folder structure in the Finder that was set up however you wanted (yet wasn't mirrored in Aperture). If you were/are using Lightroom Classic, that folder structure is mimicked in the Folders view.
Historically, your photos were stored in folders on your hard drive that you could easily peruse. Let's think about why we want to rename files in the first place. But there is one missing feature that really irks me, and that's the ability to rename files on import. I love that all my photos are synced across all devices. The vast majority of features that I need from Classic are in CC, and the cleaned up interface is, for the most part, welcome. This is one of the few significant limitations of it for me. > Rename photos using EXIF metadata (i.e.Lightroom CC (that's the new Cloud version, not the now-renamed-“Classic” version) is lacking the ability to rename photos on import. > Check the detailed preview before renaming: live preview while making changes. > Rename files in many ways: add, replace, add capture and other date, insert text into file names, Convert case, add numbers. > Convert file formats: convert image formats with a click. > Rename multiple files quickly: according to many flexible criteria With Rename Photos you can construct new file names by adding, removing, replacing, changing case, or giving the file a brand new name based on known information about the file.īefore performing the operations on the files you can verify that the output will be correct and if you perform the rename and regret it, you can undo the complete batch. It is easy to set up a batch job using multiple methods on a large amount of files. By configuring renaming methods the names can be manipulated in various ways. Rename Photos is a program for renaming multiple files at once.
