Filename templates

Author rename patterns with tokens — live preview as you type.

Open Settings → Manage filename templates… to create / edit / delete reusable rename patterns.

A pattern is a string with tokens in curly braces. Each token expands to a value at rename time. Click a token chip in the editor to insert it; the live preview updates against a sample context.

Available tokens

  • {date:%Y-%m-%d} — capture date from EXIF (strftime format)
  • {time:%H%M%S} — capture time
  • {event_slug}, {album_slug} — the album's slug
  • {frame:04d} — sequence number, zero-padded (4 digits in this example)
  • {original:basename}, {original:ext} — the original filename without/with extension
  • {camera:model}, {camera:serial} — camera body
  • {iso}, {shutter}, {aperture}, {focal_length} — capture settings

Example: {date:%Y-%m-%d}_{event_slug}_{frame:04d}2026-05-25_monaco-gp_0412. Source extension (.ARW, .CR3, …) is appended automatically.

One template can be marked default — it auto-loads in the SD card modal whenever you ingest.
