Nokia phones reuse the image names when you move old images. Thus you
get a lot of images called "Bilde001, Bilde002, Bilde003" (or
"Image001..." in english). And if the file date is messed up you loose
track of the shooting date as well.

My Nikon digital camera has a feature in it's sync software that makes
it possible to include shooting date (and time) in the filename on the
PC when trasferring.

This is very useful as many picture browsers or DVD-players only show
the filename (and not the file date and time). And sorting is always
easy :-)

That would be a GREAT idea for OPM as well I think (great sales trick
too :-)

Instead of saving the image as "Bilde001.jpg" you could check the
option "Rename files to track date and time" and it is saved as
"20060314-221054.jpg" instead (or there could be more options to save
only date, or to retain the picture number, like "20060314-001.jpg" or
maybe even "20060314-221054-001.jpg").

Hello!

At the moment the only way is to rename the picture (select the picture,
click on its name and type the name) in the gallery secion.
We will try to add the suggested feaure to the program but unfortunately
can't give the exact terms of the matter.

If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards, Galina Rabotenko

Yep, but for several 100 pictures :-)

Great, in the mean time I work on a small utilty that will rename all
the files with a gived start to add the date and time (a cmd-utility)

So the command "pictdate Bilde*.jpg" would rename "Bilde001.jpg" with
date 2006-03-27 12:30 to "20060327-1230-001.jpg". Nice utility, or :-)
