Rename directories - any easy way?

Aug 6, 2012 5:10 AM

Tags: #rename #elements_10 #directory

I have a catalog containing ~40GB divided in a number of different directories.

Unfortunately, the naming convention of the directories was not aligned from the beginning :/ However, I would like to correct this now... Is there a way of renaming ~30-50 directories and have Elements reconnect the photos in a smooth way?

It is not an alternative to do reconnect file by file (~4000 files).

Best regards, Tobbe G

Which Elements version ?
You can rename a subfolder in the left tree panel in folder view. At least on my PSE6, I'll be able to test in PSE10 later on...

Same in PSE10 : in folder view, right click on a folder in the tree and choose 'rename' - wait for the database to be updated.
