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 slide show,
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 lets 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 Change catalog settings.
- 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 slide
shows, printing photos, or creating web photo galleries.)
- IPTC Data
- Specifies a text string option using IPTC metadata. (This
element is only available in the Text Template Editor, when creating
slide shows, printing photos, or creating web photo galleries.)
- Custom
- Uses the options you specify for the text string.
