Windows 10: Manually sorting and batch renaming photos in Windows 10

recently got a new computer with Windows 10. I know how to manually move my pictures in a folder to put them in the order I wa by moving them one at a time to a new position, and I also know how to batch rename them. The problem I am having is that once they are renamed, some of the photos don’t stay where I put them. They return to their original position in the file. Also, I will get one or two file names the same i.e., Filename 1, Filename 1, Filename 2, Filename 2, Filename 3, Filename 4, Filename 5, etc.. I want to be able to arrange the photos myself and not the way

Batch Sorting of 50 JPEG files

Hi & Thanx in Advance

I use Win 19 and have 300 jpeg's in a folder and to make my next work steps easier I need to use a BATCH process routine to RENAME all of the PHOTOS preferably going from something like river.jpeg to 10.jpeg. Then lake.jpeg to 20.jpeg and so on. That
way I'll have a new file starting with 10.jpeg , 20.jpeg and so on for the entire file in the folder. This BATCH processing move can save me a bundle of time. There are over 300 photos in this project. Thnax.

 

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”.

Also, refer the help article posted by Andre Da costa on how to import photos in Windows 10 for reference

Manually sorting photos on Windows 10

Have just bought a new PC - because my XP and Vista platforms are no longer being supported by the boys at Microsoft.

Have now spent the better part of 4 days trying to manually sort my thousands of photos, only to find out that the new 10 does not allow it. How absurd !!! This after years of beta trials and input by users like me who are not comfortable applying patches
to a system developed by the so called experts. Suggest they move their operation from Redmond to Tumwater or is it Dumbwater?

Ranting is over - Microsoft get this fixed ( and putting photos on the cloud is not an option)
