Renaming Files Simultaneously; Rename Rule - Olympus Studio Instruction Manual

Using folders and files

Renaming files simultaneously

The names of several files can be renamed at the same time. This can be done by
configuring the rename rule. The renaming of all files can be used to easily identify
files with the same shooting date by the file name and add serial numbers to the file
names.

Rename Rule

A file name is configured into three blocks: [Prefix], [Base], and [Suffix]. Optional
separator characters can be placed between the blocks. The extension is the same
as that of the original extension.
Any of the following six types can be selected for each block. Depending on the
item, after it is selected, additional strings may be entered or selected from a box.
