PhotoTalks: Excellent programme, thanks!

Thank you for this extremely practical programme. I had thought I would need ages to rename all the 566 pictures in a directory, but with Namexif it took less than one minute. Besides, the programme is small and completely free. THANK YOU! Best wishes, Mihai |

What OS are you running, Mihai? I had version 1.7 working in Windows 10 for awhile and then one day it won't convert. It goes through each jpeg file and shows the date conversion, but says "Can not rename..." Am I blocking a cookie or something? I also use a VPN, if that matters. Steve |

Hi Mihai, Thanks for the feedback Hi Steve, Possible there are issues with Win 10, I need to validate that and will provide a solution anyway. |

GreG: Looks to me like Namexif 1.7 was working fine in Windows 10 to around January 22, 2017 (my last converted pictures). Maybe the Windows Update around that time was the cause. As the others have said, 1.7 is running through the photos with the dates converted, it's just not saving them. Can you attach version 1.6 so I can try that? |

This is true, a lot has become easier with this program! |

I tried versions 1.6 and 1.7 on another Windows 10 machine. Unlike my machine, I got this message: ** Script Error: ctx needs a value ** Where: init ** Near: ctx: do load path-settings do ** Press enter to quit... |

**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. |

**CUSTOM SOLVED** Should be entered as: (YYYY)-(MM)-(DD) (hh).(mm).(ss) |
