# Renaming Files

To rename one or more images using a name template, select the files in the browser and choose EditRename, or press F2.

The name template is simply a pattern that is used for renaming all of the selected images. You can use some special characters to make the new names differ each other (this is essential if you are renaming more than one image, and optional if you are renaming a single image):

Symbol | Beskrivning
# | Den här symbolen kommer att ersättas med värdet för en räknare som ökar sig själv med 1 från en bild till en annan. Om du anger den här symbolen i en sekvens kommer du att få inledande noller om räknarens värde har ett mindre antal siffror, till exempel ### kommer att producera sekvensen: 001, 002, 003, etc..
%F | This symbol will be replaced with the file's original name, excluding the original extension.
%E | This symbol will be replaced with the file's original filename extension.
%N | This symbol will be replaced with original image enumerator. For instance, if the original filename was IMG_9876.JPG, this extracts the "9876" portion. If the filename has more than one group of digits embedded in it (for example, IMG_123_456.JPG) only the first number will be used ("123" in this example).
%M{format} | This symbol will be replaced with the file modification date. The formatting of this date (and optionally time) can be specified by adding a standard formatting code in curly braces. For example, "%M{%Y-%m-%d, %T}" would be replaced with a date and time like "2010-04-01, 15:02:01".
%D{format} | This symbol will be replaced with the date that the photo was original taken (normally determined from the EXIF datestamps embedded inside the photo). The formatting of this date (and optionally time) can be specified by adding a standard formatting code in curly braces. For example, "%D{%Y-%m-%d, %T}" would be replaced with a date and time like "2010-04-01, 15:02:01".
%A{identifier} | This symbol will be replaced with the data that has been specified by the identifier. For example, "%A{ general::dimensions }" would be replaced with a size like "320 x 240".

A summary of these special codes may be viewed by clicking on the Help icon inside the template field.

Listan i nederkant av dialogrutan visar hur filnamnen kommer att byta namn.

To rename the images click on Rename.

Om namnbytet för en bild kan skriva över en redan befintlig bild så kommer du att bli tillfrågad vad som ska göras. Fem alternativ finns tillgängliga: skriv över bilden; skriv inte över bilden; skriv alltid över; skriv aldrig över; ange ett nytt namn.
