Use of PhotoRenamer 3.2: Edition of Renaming Masks Back to Top

TGMDev PhotoRenamer 3.2 performs files renaming according to a Renaming Mask. The File Renaming Mask are strings of characters that contains format specifications that will define how the original file name will be renamed. Format specifications always start with the character % (Percent) followed by either a single character or a character and a length specifier. supports 18 different format specifications (see Renaming Masks).

TGMDev PhotoRenamer 3.2 proposes two ways to edit the Renaming Masks:
  1. Standard Renaming Mask Edition: using the Mask Edition View (as it was already the case for previous versions prior TGMDev PhotoRenamer 3.2)
  2. Advanced Renaming Mask Edition: direct Mask Edition in the Renaming View. This is new in TGMDev PhotoRenamer 3.2 and for advanced users

Clicking on the button labeled 'Renaming Mask Edit' in the Ribbon Tab 'Options' triggers the display of a DialogBox used to Select the desired Edition Mode.

PhotoRenamer 3.2 Ribbon - Mask Edit Mode Selection

The Display Mode is also selectable with the dropdown menu associated with the Ribbon Button labeled 'Renaming Mask Edit' (Tab 'Options')

PhotoRenamer 3.2 Ribbon - Mask Edit Mode Selection


The Main Differences between those two Edit Modes are:
  1. Masks can not be added to the Mask File in Advanced Mode
  2. In Advanced Mode, the button 'Apply Renaming Mask' MUST be used each time the Mask Edition is done.

Use of PhotoRenamer 3.2: Standard Edition of Renaming Masks Back to Top

  • The Mask Description
Free Text can be entered directly in the Mask Edit Control. Format Specifications can be added either manually or by selecting the format specifications in the Mask Format List. The Format Specifications will be inserted at the insertion point (where the caret is blinking).
Once the mask is detected as being not in the existing mask list, the button labeled 'Add Mask' is enabled. Clicking on this button adds the newly edited mask to the Mask List and triggers the data saving to a local file (named MaskData.pmd).

TGMDev PhotoRenamer 3.2 can be switched to Advanced Mode by either Clicking on the Ribbon button labeled 'Renaming Mask Edit' (Tab 'Options') or Selecting the Menu Item 'Advanced mask Edit' from the dropdown menu associated with the Ribbon Button labeled 'Renaming Mask Edit' (Tab 'Options') (as described here)

In Advanced mode, the renaming mask can be modified directly from the EditBox Control of the ComboBox named 'Files Renaming Mask'. However, to avoid repetitive and useless processing, the update of the new file names in the File List is done ONLY when the button 'Apply Renaming Mask' is clicked.

Use of PhotoRenamer 3.2: Handling of Files Extention Back to Top

The Files Extention Processing is an other global option handled during the Renaming Process.

There are three different ways to control the files extention:
  1. Keep Files Extention Unchanged
  2. Force File Extention in Lower Case, whatever the case of the original file extention
  3. Force File Extention in Upper Case, whatever the case of the original file extention

PhotoRenamer 3.2 File Extention Processing
PhotoRenamer 3.2 File Extention Processing



Note that the File Extention Processing is shared by all masks.

Use of PhotoRenamer 3.2: Support of Burst Mode and Poorly Discriminant Masks Back to Top

There are two cases where Renaming can lead to equivalent file names:
  1. Images taken in Burst Mode

  2. Burst Mode ( also called Continuous High Speed) is a shooting mode which allow several shots by second. This means that the Exif MetaData 'Date and Time' could be the same for several images.

  3. Use of Poorly Discriminant Mask

  4. Another situation where image names can be the same is the use of poorly discriminant renaming Mask. Suppose you have a directory with all the pictures taken during the wedding of your best friend and you decide to use the mask 'Ryan-Wedding-%d-%b-%Y'. In this case, all the pictures will share the same name !!!
In these situations, TGMDev PhotoRenamer 3.2 performs a smart renaming by adding a sequential suffix to the name(s) build using the Renaming Mask.
And this gives the following results:

PhotoRenamer 3.2 Duplicate Renaming



The first image with a shared name is called the Duplicate Root File. The other image(s) that share the same name is (are) called the Duplicate File(s).

Note that TGMDev PhotoRenamer 3.2 displays the Duplicate Root File and the Duplicate File(s) in two different colors.
Both colors can be selected using the two Color Selection Buttons of the Ribbon labeled respectively 'Duplicate Root Color' and 'Duplicate Color'(Tab 'Options').

PhotoRenamer 3.2 Ribbon - Duplicate Colors



TGMDev PhotoRenamer 3.1 proposes an additional option to differentiate the two types of files (Duplicate Root and Duplicate)
  1. Add Suffix also to Original

  2. Select the Menu labeled 'Add Suffix Also to Original' of the Ribbon Menu Button 'Duplicate Files Handling'

    PhotoRenamer 3.2 Duplicate Renaming


    The Duplicate Root File and the Duplicate File(s) are renamed using the suffix template, incremented for each file.

    PhotoRenamer 3.2 Duplicate Renaming



  3. Add Suffix to Duplicate Names

  4. Select the Menu labeled 'Add Suffix to Duplicate Names' of the Ribbon Menu Button 'Duplicate Files Handling'

    PhotoRenamer 3.2 Duplicate Renaming


    The Duplicate Root File keeps its name without suffix and the Duplicate File(s) are renamed using the suffix template, incremented for each file.

    PhotoRenamer 3.2 Duplicate Renaming



The suffix can be selected in the Mask Edition View and is shared by all masks.

Fifteen different suffixes are available:
  1. %d: Simple Suffix Mask
  2. -%d: Simple Suffix Mask (with Dash Separator)
  3. (%d): Simple Suffix Mask
  4. %01d: Suffix Mask with 1 digit

Use of PhotoRenamer 3.2: Display of Pictures Thumbnail Back to Top

TGMDev PhotoRenamer 3.2 proposes three ways to Display the Files List Control:
  1. Straight and Simple Display: No Files ThumbNail displayed in the Left Column. This leads to very fast list update.
         Typical Figure to Update the Files List Control for a Directory with 300 pictures: about 2 seconds
  2. Raw ThumbNails: Files Thumbnail displayed as stored in the picture, unscaled and unrotated. This leads to moderate speed update.
         Typical Figure to Update the Files List Control for a Directory with 300 pictures: about 10 seconds
  3. High Resolution ThumNails: Files ThumbNail Build from Picture, Scaled and Rotated if required. This leads to slow update.
         Typical Figure to Update the Files List Control for a Directory with 300 pictures: about 30 seconds

To bring informations while waiting for update, TGMDev PhotoRenamer 3.2 displays a Progress Dialog Box updated with files name and files count.
