Configuring Rename Formats | Top Previous Next Learn more at BibbleLabs.com

Bibble lets you define naming conventions for the files it generates through batch processing. These rename formats are key-value pairs where the key is the name of the rename format and the value specifies the syntax of the rename format. For example, you might define a rename format called Time with a format string of [DAY][MONTH][YEAR][ext]. In this case, the output file name (for an image shot on June 24, 2004) looks like this: 24062004.jpg.
