Is there a way to automatically rename files?

[dewaltman]

When I try to transfer files from my SD Card (camera pics) into My Pictures folder, it doesn't allow the file transfer to proceed because there are files already in the folder with the same name (i.e. DCM000001, etc)

Is there a way to make the PC automatically add a digit onto the new file names so it will allow the transfer to take place?

It's always a pain to have to rename the files before I put them into My Pictures.

I can think of several ways:

1) Set your camera to sequential numbering so you can take 9,999 before you get duplicate names.

2) Put them in a new folder, eg 'Seaside 23.7.10'

3) Select all, right click, select rename and it will change all of them, but not in the way you wanted.
