IMAG to Date 2.0 – rename pics taken with your camera by date on Windows Mobile

kinnikun — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 01:39:32 +0000

IMAG to Date

IMAG to Date renames image files like JPG, GIF, and BMP to Date Formatted filenames – MMddyyyyHHmm_RID (R.I.D. Random ID). The dates are based on the Date when the file is created. By default, your camera will name the files by numbers, which makes it incredibly annoying when looking for specific pics taken long ago. Please note, there are versions for .net cf 2.0 and 3.0.

Version 2.0 (Sep. 5, 2009):

FIXED:
- “Default path” issue when launching the NETCFFolderDialog (not a NETCFFolderDialog bug).
ADDED:
- Adding custom text in Date Format by adding arguments.
- Double-tapping on file list item will launch your default Picture Viewer.
UPDATE:
- Removed texts on top of the file list.
