Do you have a digital camera? Don’t you hate how the photo files are named in all digital cameras? Usually something like IMG0001.jpg or DSC0001.jpg, basically very generic and useless when you’re trying to figure when these pictures were taken.
If you take lots of pictures, you might end up having a huge folder with tons of badly named photos, which are not easily viewed in chronological order. It’s even worse if you get photos from different cameras in one folder. Luckily, there’s a cool program that you can use to rename your photo files from the generic names to something a little more meaningful!
