ACDSee... batch rename?

[Megan Turnidge]

Okay, so... I still know nothing about ACDSee... but does anyone know if I can batch rename files in it? Like I've got things named stuff like element1, frame1, etc... can I ask it to add the same beginning to each file like: mturnidge_kit_element1, mturnidge_kit_frame1, etc? It would save me A LOT OF TIME!!! lol

I could show you much easier than explain it. Are you on yahoo?

From ACDSee 10 Help:

To rename a group of files:
In the Browser, select one or more files, and then click Tools | Batch Rename.
In the Batch Rename dialog box, do one or more of the following:
Select the Template tab to specify the Template options.
Select the Search and Replace tab to set the Search and Replace options.
Select the Advanced Options tab to adjust the settings for the Batch Rename tool.
Review your changes to the file names in the Preview field.
Click Start Rename.

Amanda, I'm m_turnidge on Yahoo!

Select the files.
Batch rename

At the bottom of the pop up input something like:
aheimann-kitnameibbon#

the # will either be a numeral or letter depending on what bubble you pick above.

Make sense?

YAY! TY AMANDA! Man, I wish I knew this this morning... I renamed a whole alpha one at a time... :thumbdown:

Glad you figured it out. I know digiscrapinfo has a tutorial about it, that's what I used before!

hahaha! I didn't even know ADCSee would do that! I've been opening up Bridge to do it everytime! lol

Just select all the files you want to rename and press F2. Easy peasy.

Wow, I'm glad you shared this, I had been using a file renaming program. So much easier to just use ACDsee for this, thank you!
