In our constant effort to provide not only the best products in all areas but also the best and most efficient way to order them online we have undertaken a massive project that requires us to rename the images we use. Normally this might require simply arranging everything in an ascending order and replacing with a numbered list. This time isn’t that simple, so I took the challenge of finding a tool that could rename thousands of files from an old name to a new name via a spreadsheet that contained both. Simply put I had an excel document with two columns…Column A had the old (current) filenames and Column B had the new filenames. I went on the lookout in all manner of websites, blogs, forums until I came across this site… ( http://www.labnol.org/software/tutorials/rename-multiple-files-bulk-excel-googl-docs/2481/ ) Being a Mac guy, this hurt a little as the technique requires the use of DOS to complete the filename change. I decided to move forward with this technique nonetheless and found that it worked perfectly to rename 3000+ jpgs…Awesome! Again here’s the link to the technique…enjoy!
