    Hi
    I'm looking for a programme for renaming images in a folder.

    I have approx 300 images in a folder with the extension .jpg
    • eg: myfolderimage.jpg

    Now I want to put at the end of the file name _MED.jpg
    • eg: myfolderimage_MED.jpg

    Now I want to put at the end of the file name _LRG.jpg

    • eg: myfolderimage_LRG.jpg

    Then I will have
    myfolderimage.jpg
    myfolderimage_MED.jpg
    myfolderimage_LRG.jpg


    Its for optimising images on a website (3 different sizes)

    I know I could do this manually but I would take my hours. I have photoshop but don't know if it possible with the batch command

    Thanks

    Do you want to make copies and change the names so that you have 3 naming schemas?

    If you have a mac you can use applescript, I think I can send you an applescript app I have made for this kind of thing if you like?

    if you have a mac you can use Automator [link] to build it for you :)

    A small batch file (.bat) on windows would work, as would a small bash/shell script on linux/unix.

    You could even do it in php.

    Yes that's what I need, 3 different copies of images, original, _Medium and Large.

    Once I get the extension on the end I can resize in photoshop.

    (I don't have a MAC)

    I think this will do it all, including the resize.

    For anyone else with the same query I found this handy programme

    Batch filename editor
    http://www.faraseen.com/

    It allows to put extra on to the file names at beginning or end and renaming files.

    The free trial was able to do everything I needed
    Thanks for everyone else's suggestions
