I am just getting into using the potentially very useful rename
facility in IrfanView. But I quickly encountered a serious snag. My
main use would be to rename photos so that the name includes the EXIF
Date and Time taken. For example, using ##-E306 to enter the EXIF
'entity' DateTime. But IrfanView rejects this, giving errors like
"Can't rename file!: D:\Docs\My
Pictures\DigiCam\Walks\TP04\01-2004:08:17 10:32"
Presumably this is because the date contains the invalid character
':'?
If so, that's an unfortunate loss of an otherwise excellent feature
