File pairs

File pair rename setting in toolbar

In the program menu you can activate file pair renaming. This will make sure file pairs will keep being paired together.

So what is a file pair? A file pair is when two or more files are located in the same folder and differ on the extension. The following is a file pair:
Img_001.jpg
Img_001.tif

This is tree pairs:
Img_00A.jpg
Img_00A.tif
Img_00B.jpg
Img_00B.tif
Img_00C.jpg
Img_00C.tif

File pairs can be common when working with image files, where the same image may exist in different formats. Some cameras may produce both a JPEG file and a RAW file. This is also common for video files.

You can also use this mode to transfer metadata from a media file to a paired file. Imaginge using this pattern in the New Name method:
Img_<Img Width>x<Img Height>_<Inc Nr:002>

For this pair:
Picture_2027.jpg
Picture_2027.txt

The result will be:
Img_2000x1000_002.jpg
Img_2000x1000_002.txt

Note, the media file must be located before the paired file in the list.
