PhotoTalks: Namexif 1.7
GreG on 4-Apr-2014 |
Namexif 1.7 is out! It features full flexibility on format to rename by providing a simple field for customization by user. The user format is of course remembered after each use. It also fixes the subdirectory checkbox selection for inclusion or not. |

Looks interesting - does this also solve the mulitple filename extension that I requested? |
GreG on 16-Apr-2014 |
Alan, I'll make a version for you doing what you requested. |
AlanR on 16-Apr-2014 |
Brilliant - I will look out for that once you got it ready. Think it might benefit others as well. Thanks. |
AlanR on 8-May-2014 |
Still waiting is it going to be soon? |
GreG on 9-May-2014 |
Sorry for the wait Alan, I'm pretty well loaded these days, will do my best to release this customized version! |
AlanR on 12-May-2014 |
Thats ok - whenever you get a chance - I hope the special release will be based on what v1.7 does now - that would be super cool and I suspect satisfy most peoples needs in that area. I work around the shortcomings now - but look forward to your latest release with much anticipation. |
AlanR on 14-May-2014 |
Just installed V1.7 and I like the custom naming feature as I've chosen a format that makes reading date and time so much easier, well done. Now just waiting for a b c filenaming for multiples feature . . . . . |
GreG on 23-May-2014 |
Alan, Please try this one: http://digicamsoft.com/Namexif-alan.exe It adds a,b,c... instead of 1,2,3... and no dash. Now, it will probably crash if you go beyond z! I didn't address this point. Hope it will solve your issue. |
AlanR on 24-May-2014 |
Thanks Greg - sent seperate email - no worries on reaching z - I don't know of a camera on the market that can take in excess of 26 frames per second - but if one day they do then I'm sure the rich owner will be only too happy to commission you for a special! Hope this will be the standard way of resolving multiple pics with the same timestamp. |

Hello! Thanks for the program! Its very useful and easy to handle and now even customizable. I also wanted to mention some little bugs I found: 1. If in the custom-mode the last added character is a space, the "do not use the characters:*?<>]:"-error is shown. An error where I needed some time to get it, why it was shown. 2. If more than 1,73 GB (or maybe more than 690 fotos) are added, nothing happens/ nothing will be added to the program without any comment. 3. While the renaming-prozess the program shows: "please wait, work in progress", which switches to "Work completed.". When the user now hits: "again?" and adds other fotos, the program still shows: "work completed" the whole time while renaming. Best wishes from Berlin, Yanez |

Thanks for the feedback Yanez I'll take them all into account for next version. |

Thanks for the program it=B4s super helpfull however I have a question, I need to edit the name but else a sequency of numbers like xxx-xxx-xxx-#1, xxx-xxx-xxx-#2... but I have a bunch of pics that are from different days and every day the counters returns to 1, how can I maintain the sequency? Appreciate your help |
GreG on 21-Apr-2016 |
Hi Chanch, This is very specific... Not sure how to help here. |

Hey, what's going on with this error: Incorrect filename. Do not use \/:*?"<>| Custom Format worked well, unless I typed space at end. Now CF won't work at all, whatever I set up there o_O Field has always yellow backlit and program refuses renaming. |

One of the big strengths of this tool is its simplicity. I have a suggestion to make it even simpler to use: support drag-and-drop of files into the main window, rather than having to navigate through possibly complex folder structures to find the desired images. |

Hi GreG: Am getting same character errors as Yanez and boom. Using Windows 10. It worked fine last month (Feb 2017) but now will not convert. Says "cannot rename... (JPEG)". I noticed that the Select Folder adds some ' to the directory. For example it says: C:\Users'\Owner\Pictures'\111 Download Area. When I open the directory, an example path uses forward slashes without ' : /C/Users/Owner/Pictures/111 Download Area/P1040808.JPG Hope these details help you create a solution. Steve |

I am assuming Namexif 1.7 is no longer supported. Can I have a recommendation for a substitute? I have PaintShop Pro X6 if that's of any use for renaming. |

**PROBLEM SOLVED*** Installed Bitdefender 2018 tonight on my machine and a warning occurred under their "Safe Files" protection feature. That notification did not occur under Bitdefender 2017 so I did not know it was blocking the file name change. I allowed it access and it ran fine. However, if I chose a custom file format - such as YYYY-MM-DD hh.mm.ss (as I had previously been able to do) it would not convert properly. And the space between DD and hh was previously workable. Maybe something to do with MM & mm? Insofar as my Aug 27th comment, that machine is using McAfee so not sure how to solve that one. |
Steve on 7-Sep-2017 |
**CUSTOM SOLVED** Should be entered as: (YYYY)-(MM)-(DD) (hh).(mm).(ss) |

Thanks for the feedback Steve, this can help others as well. |
