Images disappear after renaming

Hi,

I tried (and loved) the freeware version of cam2pc - sadly one of the major features causes me pain - if I use the renaming tool the selected (and modified) pictures disappear. Any idea what can cause this?

Thanx in advance

Hi,

some months ago, I had this error.
In my case, it's because I've specified a renaming pattern without specifying the extension.

So for example the file "DSCN0001.jpg" was renamed in "Picture0001".

And as cam2pc is based on extensions to recognize files as pictures, a picture without file extension is not a picture !!

But maybe your problem is different ??

Which pattern do you use ?
Which is the original name of pictures ?
Do you have always this problem or only sometimes ?

Regards,
Laurent

LOL I can't believe that I did such a stupid error.... especially one so easy to find. Yeah you are absolutely right, it was just the extension.

Thank you very much. Next time I'll check with greater care before crying about such an issue ;-)
