Jérôme uses a tool that automatically renames his photos. Which renaming format? [Find out the answer].
To answer this question correctly, you need to determine the renaming format to use, to automatically rename photos taken and imported by Jérôme according to their date and time of shooting, as well as their name, in an organized fashion.
Here is what the question looks like as it appears on the Pix platform:
States : “Jérôme uses a tool that automatically renames his imported photos. What renaming format should he use to get img_0890_2018_10_25_17-51.jpg?”
NB Answers may vary depending on the version of the Pix text.
Understanding the renaming format
To answer correctly, you must first understand what each element of the renaming format file. Here's how to read it simply.
| Renaming format | Definition | Overview |
|---|---|---|
| [name] | Original file name (in lowercase) | img_0890 |
| [time] | Time of shooting | 17-51 |
| [ date ] | Shooting date | 2018-10-25 |
| [ext] | Original extension (in lowercase) | .jpeg |
Originally, the photo file renaming format was as follows:
2018-10-25_17-51_img_0890.jpeg
or [ date ]_[time]_[name].[ext].
To adopt the :
img_0890_2018-10-25_17-51.jpg, then you need reverse name and datewhich gives :
[name]_[time]_[ date ].[ext]
WARNING :
- You must put a “.” before [ext], which stands for “extension,” and not an “_” as with the others!
- It is also important to do not add a space, neither between the brackets [] nor inside them.
