Re: digital pictures: reordering and renaming (in a different way)

Hello,

I have a few hundred digital pictures scanned from negatives. Now when
the negatives were scanned, the ordering was kind of lost. So now I have
these sequential digital image files but their content is out of order.

I am looking for an application that will do the following:
1. Out of all the image files in a folder in konqueror (or in nautilus),
it allows me to 'move' the images, in the folder view, to different
places in the window. Basically, I am reording some of the files by
moving them with the mouse.
2. Then, it allows me to select some files and let me rename all of
those selected files sequentially in the order that they appear in the
folder view. Something like a batch mode.

Basically, the above method will allow me to 'move' the image files in
the folder view to their new 'place' in the order I have in mind. Once
that is done, then a batch command allows me to rename the selected
files sequentially. The second step is easily done with digikam. But
what about the first one?

Hope I have explained this clearly enough. Suggestions? Advice? If push
comes to shove, I can always sit on a weekend and manually renumber the
images.

thanks,
->HS



Google's Picasa 2 allows you to reorder photos with drag-and-drop and
batch renaming using the new ordering of the photos as basis for the
filename. Unfortunately it is based on wine, but they are nice enough to
supply a nice deb package.
