As all digital camera owners know, searching through countless image files named something like “P1010024.jpg” can be an ominous task.
One way to prevent this is to manually go into each folder you upload and rename each image individually. However, how many of us can really perform such a tedious and inefficient action? Hardly any, I’m sure.
Luckily, if you are running Windows XP, it is possible to rename all files (not only images) with a sequential suffix.
