FreeCommander Forum

I'm new to this forum & this is my first posting.

I recently acquired a new camcorder which gives each clip a unique but meaningless number for its name. All I wish to do is to get numbers,12364,98626,gu67j etc renames into something which means something. I wish to end up with names like beach trip1, beach trip 2, beach trip 3 etc. Even the original extension m2ts can stay the same.

Every time I try entering data to try to achieve this I either get the original number along with my new name or else the program accepts the first name in green & changes it but leaves all of the rest unchanged & in red. I think that I have tried most combination's of trying to achieve this but I'm still having it happen. What am I doing wrong? I suspect that what I'm trying to do is the simplest of all changes that this program is capable of.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

to learn how it works you can download a tutorial for renaming at: http://www.freecommander.com/fc_guide_en.htm (5. Multi Rename (download PDF file))

I think filename-entry "beach trip[c]" in multirename dialog will solve your problem.

Thanks for that information. I finally have the rename function working.

The only problem that I now have are the thumbnails, not all of them are being displayed. If I click on a folder that had m2ts video files I can get to see only about 95% of the clips with thumbnails, the rest are just blank but if I click on these blank thumbnails spaces the file open OK & my video plays OK.

If I go to Windows Explorer & select the same folder then I get to see 100% of files thumbnails What I can't work out is why FreeCommander isn't displaying all thumbnails. Any ideas?
