    How do I get the MS Photos app to automatically rename after I edit a photo and use "save...


    The new MS Photos app does not add the 2 automatically after the name when I "save as copy." I am required to rename the new file manually. Is there a setting to make my edits automatically rename or is the new MS Photos app worthless to handle large numbers of photos?

    :)

    Automatic Update Made Photo Editing Not Work Correctly

    This is NOT solved--just fixed.
    Microsoft ran an automated update a couple of days ago and now photo editing is not working the way it did previously. I shoot a lot of photos for a local news website and after editing, saved them with new names that help me sort--so, for example, football photos might be F1, f2, etc. After the update, when i edit a photo, it saves only as a copy of the original name (IMG4028, for example, so I get IMG4028(2). Only after I do that, do I get the "save as" option back, which means i either give up my naming convention or have two or more copies of everything.
    Any suggestions? The "save as" option does not appear in the first step anymore.

    ADDED: It's the software that came bundled with the Windows 10 Edge computer--it's just the Photos app.

    Thank you.

    Rename photos on windows 10 photos app

    Hi Dan,

    I see that you are trying to rename the photo using photo app.

    There is no option to rename the photo using photo app, but you can go to location of the folder were the photo is located and rename the photo.

    To do so follow the steps below.

    - Open photo app.

    - Right click on the photo.

    - Select Open Folder.

    - Right on the photo which you want to rename and select Rename.

    Hope the information is helpful. Please revert with necessary information for further assistance in this regard.

    Regards,

    Guru Kiran
