FWIW - For digital camera photos, I use the program "PIE", or
"digital PIE" that's a shareware program from someone in
Germany if I recall correctly. Anyway, one of it's main
features is that one can select all photos in a directory and
auto-rename them with the date/time they were taken (using the
data in the photo, NOT the date of the file). It supports various
digital camera formats, including the Nikon 950 that I use
(actually my wife's camera). It also does it in such a fashion
that the files "sort" in time-order. So it doesn't index the
contents (neither does the camera's numerical filenames), but
a glance does tell exactly when the photo was taken.
