How can I automate renaming my image files?

You can use scripts in Python or batch files in Windows to automate the renaming process. Would you like a sample script?

Yes, please provide a sample Python script.

Here's a simple script using the os module:

import os

directory = 'path/to/your/images'
for count, filename in enumerate(os.listdir(directory)):
    dst = f'image_{count}.jpg'
    src = f'{directory}/{filename}'
    dst = f'{directory}/{dst}'
    os.rename(src, dst)

This will rename all images in the specified directory.

What if I want to add a timestamp to the filenames?

You can modify the script to include a timestamp like this:

import os
import time

directory = 'path/to/your/images'
for count, filename in enumerate(os.listdir(directory)):
    timestamp = time.strftime('%Y%m%d_%H%M%S')
    dst = f'image_{timestamp}_{count}.jpg'
    src = f'{directory}/{filename}'
    dst = f'{directory}/{dst}'
    os.rename(src, dst)

This will add a timestamp to each renamed file.
