[SOLVED] Numbering pictures from a number

---

Hi all

I want to start numbering pictures from a high number (100001) to have all them alphabetically ordered (now 51 goes first than 432 for instance) but I can't

Any idea?

Thank you!

Hi
I am not sure I understand what you mean, but it sounds like you could use a "serial do-pictures-whatever" like XnView (more functions with the PC than with the PPC version, of course, but both allow apply transformations to various selected pictures at the same time)

Thank you for your reply. I mean: If you hard reset, and you take some pictures, they are numbered as:

PH_1, PH_2, PH_3...and so on.


Instead I'd like to number them as

PH_10000001, PH_10000002, PH_10000003......


Is it possible??

Well I did not check with so many zeros, only 10001, and it worked.
With XnView, even the PPC version, you can select your pictures (using keyboard Alt like on pc, after adjusting windows to see both keyboard and pictures), then, Util > renommer par lots > there you can chose name, extension, first number, and increment.
The PC version is more complex... and offers more serial changes (like effects), not only size, contrast, rotation...
Maybe you can google for an XnView pocket in your own language, or at least english.

Yes, bro, I have XnViev. But what do you say is to rename pictures AFTER take them.

I'm asking to number pictures WHEN you take the photo.(not re-number)

Then, it would be in registry? near where you go to change camera sound? (I think there was something about this in the forum) Could be found exploring camera registry looking for "PH"? Or is there nothing to be found there?
I would not dare advising anything come to that...

Yes you're right, Perhaps this is the way. I have not found the stirng "PH_"


Many thanks!

Assuming the PH in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Pictures\Camera\GeneralS ettings\PhotoCounter\ : Prefix PH
is the one, maybe the zero there near stands for default first number?

You are the MAN! Thank you my friend, you have found the solution:

Changing the register Key Counter exactly where you said, from the present number to the desired one, it does exactly what I was looking for!!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Pictures\Camera\GeneralS ettings\PhotoCounter\ Counter

I've changed the Counter to 100001

After that, I've taken some pictures:

PH_100001, PH_100002, PH_100003, PH_100004....and so on

Many Thanks!! I mark this Thread as SOLVED

(By the way, as you said, you can replace the original "PH_" for "Image ", "Picture_", etc.)
