+ | |||
+ | Name: ''Move and Rename my Photos''\\ | ||
+ | Rules: ''*.jpg''\\ | ||
+ | Action: ''Rename''\\ | ||
+ | Destination: ''C:\Example\Of\Destination\%DateTaken% %FileName%.%FileExt%'' | ||

+ | ===== Example 2 ===== | ||
+ | **In this second example the names of my documents are capitalized and separated in folders by their Date Modified:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Name: ''Capitalize and Sort my Docs''\\ | ||
+ | Rules: ''*.doc;*.docx''\\ | ||
+ | Action: ''Rename''\\ | ||
+ | Destination: ''C:\MyDocs\%DateModified%\%FileName#+++%.%FileExt%'' | ||
