I have several photos taken using my digital camera and most of them are saved as some DSCxxxx format and i want to label them in a better way. Is there a solution for this?<\/p>\n<p>If you are on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/low-disk-space-warning-solution\/\">low disk space<\/a> and dont want to install any new software for performing tasks like renaming multiple files of the same file format here is a very small windows based trick which can help you out. Just move all these files to a new directory and then select the display mode of that directory to list view. This option allows you to view all the files in a directory in a very small area enabling you to easily select the required files which you want to rename.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/Images\/L\/list-view-directory.png\" alt=\"Directory List View\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now right click on your desired files either by selecting all or by selecting some files using the &#8216;Ctrl&#8217; button and then right click and select &#8216;Rename&#8217;. The very next moment you will be asked with the new name on a single file which when you enter will be renamed and all the selected files in the same directory would also get renamed with the same name with the suffix of a number in a bracket. check out these screenshots to see how the renamed files look like.<\/p>\n<p>Files before Renaming &#8211; <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/Images\/F\/files-before-rename.png\" alt=\"Files Before Renaming\" \/><br \/>\nFiles after Renaming &#8211; \u00a0\u00a0 <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/Images\/F\/files-after-rename.png\" alt=\"Files After Renaming\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Note the only problem in this is that after the renaming procedure you cannot undo this for more than 10 files and hence you should make sure you have a backup of the files if you want to have the real filenames for future use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do i rename some files in my computer without using any confusing software and without the use of any tool and save up my money?
