This small app will allow a user to rename image files by either replacing the filename or appending text to the current filename. I wrote it for me. Honestly, I don't expect it to be useful for anyone else. But if it is, great!
I backup all my iPhone photos to folders for each month. I use this app to append titles to the camera filename thus making the files more easily searchable while maintaining their chronological order.
I have a similar system for storing the images from my DSLR. I have a master "library" folder which contains subfolders for different events or subjects. These "event" folders may contain subfolders, but that is as deep as the system goes. (Library -> People -> Philip = photos I have of me.) Image files are renamed for search purposes.
(It's a time consuming process, but well worth it in the long run IMHO.)
The program has the ability to sort photos down to a depth of two subfolders. This is useful when going through large collections of photos that need to be sorted into different folders of people, events, days, or places.
