Photos > ATTN: Canon Digital Camera Owners

I'm not bragging by saying I know this. Hell, it took me a year to notice it, fer cryin' out loud. But if you have a Canon digital camera, when you're downloading images there's an option to prepend the file name with whatever you like, which is a tremendous mneumonic-type aid. A word to the ~~wise~~ daft. (And in my own defense, I don't think this was an option in the Macintosh version of the software I used until last Christmas.)

You should check out this freeware. One of the best tools for renaming files.

Brett: thanks for the link. That does look pretty awesome. In my Mac days I used a utility called BatFiler that I used to love for modifying batches of files.
