Batch Rename
Rename multiple files at once using template variables. FLOGVIT.culling renames both the image files and their XMP sidecars automatically.
Opening the Rename Dialog
Press Cmd+Shift+R or go to Tools → Batch Rename. The dialog works on all selected images — select the images you want to rename first.
Rename Template
Build a filename pattern using variables:
{date}_{camera}_{seq:4}.{ext}
This produces filenames like 2026-02-19_NIKON_Z9_0001.nef.
Available Variables
Date & Time:
{date}— Capture date (YYYY-MM-DD){time}— Capture time (HH-MM-SS){year},{month},{day}— Individual date components{hour},{minute},{second}— Individual time components
Camera & Lens:
{camera}— Camera model{lens}— Lens model{focal}— Focal length{aperture},{shutter},{iso}— Exposure settings
File:
{original}— Original filename (without extension){ext}— File extension{folder}— Parent folder name{dimensions},{width},{height}— Image dimensions
Sequence:
{seq:N}— Sequence number with N digits (e.g.,{seq:4}→0001)
Metadata:
{rating}— Star rating{colorclass}— Color label name{caption},{headline},{keywords}— IPTC fields
Sequence Numbering
Configure the sequence counter:
- Start value — The first number in the sequence (default: 1)
- Digit count — How many digits to pad to (e.g., 4 →
0001) - Step — Increment per file (default: 1)
Live Preview
The dialog shows a side-by-side preview of old and new filenames for all selected images. This lets you verify the result before applying.
Find & Replace
Switch to the find & replace tab to search and replace text within existing filenames. Useful for fixing typos or updating naming conventions across a batch.
XMP Sidecars
When renaming, XMP sidecar files are automatically renamed to match their parent image. You never need to rename sidecars manually.
