Windows 10: Is there a way to bulk rename photos in one drive?.

I seem to lose the "rename" option on the tool bar when I tick more than one photo. I want to be able to rename a group of photos like I can do on Microsoft Explorer

Windows 10 and Bulk Rename Utility: opening a file

Rodrigo,

Thanks for the reply. The Bulk Rename Utility does not open files. It just renames them. But while running the Bulk Rename Utility, you can double click (or right click and open) on a file name and the image will open using the default app for jpg files. At my home computer, I start Bulk Rename and see a list of jpg files to rename. I click on a file name and it opens the image with Microsoft Photos on my screen. At my office, I do the same thing and I get a MS Photos icon on the taskbar.

I have tried using different default apps for jpg files like MS Paint and get the exact same results. For some reason, my office computer is not opening the jpg files so that I can see them but just creating a Photos icon on the taskbar.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi MarkMcDonough45,

I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.

Looks like the Bulk Rename Utility is not the default app for .jpg files,

to change it, right-click any .jpg file > Open With > Choose another app > Check the box "Always use this app to open .jpg files" > Select the Bulk Rename Utility and click OK.

If you don't find the Bulk Rename Utility on the list, click "More Apps", if you still don't see it, click "Look for another app on this PC" and select the Bulk Rename Utility shortcut or executable file.

 

renaming photos imported into windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.



To better understand the query, please answer the following questions:

• 
  Are you trying to rename the photos through file explorer?
  
• 
  Do you receive any error message when you try to rename the photos?
  

If you are trying to rename the photos before being imported to Windows 10, please be informed that you will have to first import the photos and then rename it later. I would suggest you to try renaming the photos through file explorer by following
the steps below and check if fit helps.

1. Press Windows key + E to open file explorer.

2. Click “this pc” on the left pane.

3. Open the folder/drive where the photos are located.

4. Right click on the photo which you would like to rename and select ‘rename”.
