Irfanview will do batch rename pretty easily and it's free. http://www.irfanview.com/
Be sure to download/install the plug-in file, too. I believe it will batch apply IPTC data as well, but I use BreezeBrowser Pro for that and my other organizing functions. BreezeBrowser is not freeware, but not too expensive, either. http://breezesys.com/ -P Adam McKenty wrote: > How do you rename/organize your digital photos? > I'm now at image 17,603 and am having a bit of a crisis with my sorting > regime because I can't add my last 7603 images to my file system.
