- While editing the Custom Buttons, you can clear the current text by double-clicking on the text box.
- If you plan to name a series of files, you can click the ‘Filename as Temp’ button to assign the current filename to one of the Temp Buttons. This allows you to quickly rename the other files in the series. Then you can click the ‘Series #’ button to add a series #, then click ‘Rename/ Done’!
- While you can always adjust the ‘Next Series #’ by typing into the textbox, you can also quickly reset it to ‘1’ by double-clicking on the text box.
- If you are naming pictures in a series, you may want to skip other pictures that aren’t part of the series until you finish the series you started. That way, you will not have to keep changing the ‘Next Series #’.
- No changes are made to the filename UNTIL you click on the ‘Rename/ Done’ button (or ‘Start Batch Renaming’ button, when in Batch Mode). Also, doing this ONLY changes the filename. It doesn’t change the size or file type. If you decide not to change a filename that you started editing, simply choose another picture without clicking ‘Rename/ Done’ (or ‘Start Batch Renaming’ button), and no changes will be made.
- Name Dropper remembers the folder that you were using when you last ran it.
- Name Dropper remembers the contents of your Custom Buttons when you last ran it- whether you saved them as a template or not.
- If a file being renamed does not contain EXIF information, but you are attempting to insert the EXIF date and/or time, the date and/or time that the file was created or modified on (whichever is oldest) will be used instead.
- When renaming a group of MP3s using ID3 Tags contained in the files, be sure that all files being renamed do in fact contain the tag fields being used, otherwise duplicate filenames could occur.
- Keep in mind that whenever a file is previewed externally, you should close that file in the other program before attempting to rename the file in Name Dropper. Failure to do so could cause a duplicate file to be created with the old filename or a ‘File Access’ error, meaning the file is in-use by another application.
