I would be grateful for advice. From time to time I download to my PC large numbers of photos. The file names have little meaning just being a sequence of numbers. [snip] what is the best approach to dealing with photos that lack meaningful names which are acquired in fairly large numbers so that naming each file is not practical? Stephen

What do you mean by acquired? Imported from card reader or...? Can you explain your workflow in a little more detail?
