The Filename Template Editor and Text Template Editor
The Filename Template Editor and the Text Template Editor let you specify text strings for different uses. Using the
Filename Template Editor, you can use the text strings to name files as they’re being imported or exported. Using the
Text Template Editor, you can use text strings to add captions to photos in a slideshow, add text overlays to photos being
printed, and add titles and other text to web gallery pages.
A token is a text string that is replaced by the corresponding option you set. In the Filename Template Editor and the
Text Template Editor, tokens specify the content data that replaces the text string. Tokens save you the effort of manually
typing content data and let you leverage the data already in the photo files.
The Filename Template Editor and the Text Template Editor include the following elements:
Preset Chooses, saves, deletes, or renames presets.
Image Name Specifies a text string option using the filename or folder name.
Numbering Specifies three types of numbering: Import, which is a sequential number for each import operation;
Image, which sequentially numbers each photo that has been imported into the catalog; and Sequence, which numbers
each photo in sequence, letting you choose a new Start Number each time you import. (This element is not available in
the Filename Template Editor when exporting photos.) Specify the starting Import and Image numbers in the File
Handling tab of the Catalog Settings dialog box. See
Export a catalog .
Additional Specifies a text string option using the creation (capture) date and time, or Exchangeable Image Format
(Exif) data. This element is only available in the Filename Template Editor when importing or auto-importing photos.
Sequence And Date Specifies a text string option using sequential numbers and creation (capture) date and time. This
element is only available in the Filename Template Editor when exporting photos.
Metadata Specifies a text string option using IPTC or Exif metadata. This element is only available in the Filename
Template Editor when exporting photos.
Exif Data Specifies a text string option using Exif data. This element is only available in the Text Template Editor when
creating slideshows, printing photos, or creating web photo galleries.
