I'd appreciate learning what format others have chosen for renaming
photos please. Despite much experiment, I've still not settled on
anything consistent!
In particular, with future sorting in mind, I vary between making the
major field the Date/Time Taken, or some keyword about the subject.
For example, my photo taken at 4:26pm yesterday on a walk from a place
called Exceat could be renamed from
DSC0005.jpg to
2005-07-17-09-16-26-Exceat.JPG
or
Exceat-2005-07-17-09-16-26-Exceat.JPG
But, assuming I do settle on making Date/Time Taken the major sort,
there are so many formats possible for that. I've tried:
2005-07-17-09-16-26
2005-07-17 09.16.26
05-07-17 09.16.26 (that space can cause problems)
2005Jul17-16.26
2005Jul17-16.26
2005Jul17-16:26 (looks better but often the ':' screws up)
and more. What do others use please?
