Multi rename — how to get dimensions into name in case of missing exif

#1 Post by CabbageTree » 28.06.2023, 16:28

Hi there,

I love the Multi-rename superpower of FC. However, I've been struggling to find a solution for including image dimensions in the name. These are not a photographs, but just images exported from a graphics software. So no exif. Is there a solution to manage this easily?

And if not, wouldn't be a good idea to add a function to the already great Multi-rename dialogue?

Thanks!

How should FC know the dimensions if your files don't have this information ?
You should change the creation of the files, to include the dimensions as part of the file name.
Windows 11 Home x64 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3527)
Everything Version 1.5.0.1373a (x64), Everything Toolbar 1.3.3, Listary Pro 6.3.0.73

Almost each image format has this information, it's even in FC - column profiles - as item "Dimensions", so perhaps it should be possible to add it to Multi rename.

Workaround - XnView.

Thank you for reply guys!

Not all programs allow to play with the naming when exporting. (Adobe Indesign when exporting pages directly as images for example.)

And yes, there are ways how to get what you want if you use other programs. But when you just love FC, you don't to be unfaithful to it.
