Cell Phones & Plans

When the whole family gathers at the end of the year for the holidays, quite often you want to share all of the things you’ve done throughout the year. This is easy with computers as you can just put together a slideshow of all the family photos. It’s much like having a computer-based scrapbook. But what if your computer is less organized than you want it to be?

Are you looking for your computer and not even sure which directories some of your photos have been taken over the past year are in? A file rename is probably what you’re going to need to do to start and sort out this mess. For a lot of people the concept of a file rename project means hours or even days of sitting in front of the computer going through files. That’s not the way it has to be.

You just need to find a batch program that can help you rename multiple files simultaneously. With a batch file rename program, you can look through hundreds of pictures, select large groups of them altogether, and then make alterations to the entire group.

Move Them About

Once you discover a lot of your photos aren’t in the directories where they need to be, you can highlight large groups of them and easily move them to the directory where you want them all at the same time with just a click of the mouse. This means when you want those pictures down the road you know just where to look for them.

Filename Changes

You want to be able to know what all of your pictures are at just a glance at the filename. In this case, that means you want to change the names of all of those picture files to something that clearly explains what they are. Instead of having to open all of the pictures on your computer trying to find the right ones, the filename will let you know exactly what you’re about to see.

File Type Alteration

If you’re like a lot of people you don’t just have one photo type, but all sorts of file types when it comes to your pictures. Using your batch file rename program you can clean up this mess by converting all the photos to the same file type.

With a batch program it will not take long to rename all of the photo files on your computer, then you can easily pick and choose the events you want to show off and put them into a slideshow for the whole family to enjoy over the holidays.
