Keyboard Shortcuts

Name Dropper has many keyboard shortcuts that can be used in place of using the mouse.  Below is a list of the keyboard shortcuts available.

[Enter]  –  In single-file mode, renames the current file.  In Batch Mode, batch-renames all of the selected files.  When editing the text in a custom or temporary button, it is the same as clicking OK.

F1  –  Opens this Help File.  From the main window, it opens the Interface section of this Help File.  Can also be pressed in any other window with a Help button to show help pertaining to the window you are currently using.
F2  –  Rotates the Preview Window 90 degrees.  Handy if the picture is not upright in the preview window.  Name Dropper examines the EXIF data (if available) when a picture is previewed, and if the camera orientation is set to a value other than normal, the preview window is automatically rotated for you.
F3  –  Opens a window showing EXIF data (if available) for the currently selected file.  Here you can see more exposure details about the current picture.  If more than one file is selected, it shows the EXIF data for the most recently clicked file.  Currently, only EXIF Date & Time can be extracted from most RAW image files.  An alternative way to do this is to right-click on the File List area.

CTRL+A  –  Selects all files in current folder when the File List has focus.  Selects all characters in the New Filename when the New Filename text box has focus.  Note that the File List only has focus immediately after a folder is chosen.
CTRL+O  –  Opens the Program Options window.
CTRL+T  –  Opens the Manage Templates window.
CTRL+N  –  Maps (Connects) a network drive.
CTRL+U  –  “Un-Maps” (Disconnects) a network drive.
CTRL+D  –  Refreshes the Drive List.
CTRL+P  –  Refreshes the Folder (Path) List.
CTRL+F  –  Refreshes the Files List.
CTRL+S  –  Opens the Filename Search & Replace window.
CTRL+H  –  Opens the contents of this Help File
