Rename, Delete or Email File
 Renaming Files
Files can be renamed by selecting File > Rename or pressing F2. If you rename a file listed in your media library it will also change the corresponding listing in the media library.
Note: if you have multiple files selected then Smart Pix Manager will prompt you to rename each file in turn (or you may use Batch Renaming). You can discontinue this process by pressing Cancel.
Batch Renaming Functionality:
If you select multiple files and choose Rename, the rename dialog will also have a tab for Batch Renaming.
Batch renaming will rename all remaining files within your current selection to a specified name followed by a number. All files will be keep their current file extension.
You need to specify the following details:
- New name: The text you want to be used for all files, e.g. myimage
- Also add: Allows you to add the date to the filename (if the image contains digital camera fields, the date that the photo was taken will be used. Otherwise the date of the file is used).
- Start numbering at: Set the number you want to use for the first file. This number will be increased by one for each subsequent file.
- Minimum number of digits in added prefix: Set this at greater than 1, if you always want your file names to have a set number of digits in their name, e.g. myfile 0001 (4 digits).
For example, if you select the following four files and click Rename
An image.jpg
Another image.jpg
Mygirlfriend.gif
LastPix.WMF
Then select Batch Rename and enter the text as 'MyImage', leave the other settings to their default, then the images will be renamed to:
MyImage 1.jpg
MyImage 2.jpg
MyImage 3.gif
MyImage 4.WMF

 Deleting Files
You can delete selected files by selecting File > Delete or pressing the "Del" key. By default you are prompted to confirm the deletion.
File Deletion Options
You can turn off Confirmation of Delete under Options. You can also select whether Smart Pix Manager should move files to the Recycle Bin upon deletion. If you want to speed up file deletion you should switch off the option to move files to the Recycle Bin.
If you hold the Shift while clicking the "Del" key Smart Pix Manager will permanently delete the files rather than sending them to the Recycle Bin.

If you have problems using this function please reinstall your e-mail software.
