Rename Function (or Shortcut) Needed, Need for a Rename function Options

[farmkid]

I don't see a request for this, though I made have missed it.

It would be wonderful to have a Rename function available within the viewer, perhaps driven by a ctl-key combination like Delete.

For instance, if I have a directory of images from a digital camera or scanner, they're all named something like 'xxxxxxxxx.JPG', where 'xxxxxxxx' is some arbitrary, sytem-generated value. I want to rename the images appropriately, but currently I have to either open the image to see what it is and manually rename outside PMView, or Save As, and then delete the original.

It would be very helpful to hit CTL-(something), enter a new name, and go on.

Thanks,

Greg

Greg,

"File->Move to" can be used for renaming. (Don't enter a new path. Just change the file name).

You can assign a hot key to this function if you wish (View->Preferences, Shortcut Keys).

Also, in the File Open Window you can simply left-click on a file name to edit it. (If the file is not selected, the first click will select it. Then click a second time on the text to edit it. This applies to Windows. On OS/2 you need to press the ALT key).

Oops -- I neglected to address this in the other post. The problem here is that, in the Open window, the image is not large enough to see what it should be named. So I'm back to the Open/Look/Close/Rename scenario again.

File->Move is the way to go, if only it would default to the current path.

Dejectedly,

Greg
