【實用工具app】DSC Auto Rename|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

This application automatically rename ALL the images and clips files taken by the camera. (read carefully!)

Sorry for the inconveniences but I do not have a newest phone with KitKat or Lollipop and development using Android Emulator is not help me because do not have SD card restrictions like real one. I still work on this to find a solution.

Read paragraph: "What changed after KitKat?" from http://goo.gl/0xr7qI

KitKat advice

Application can rename files stored on internal memory only! The application do not have access on SD card files by default.

Lollipop advice

Please uninstall and reinstall the application!

As on KitKat case, the application can rename files from internal memory. For external memory should be enabled the "Rename within a folder" and should be selected which folder are used by your camera app to save files. For consistency please select also folders from internal memory.

Description

I made this application to rename pictures and clips from my phone Sony Xperia V automatically based on date and time of file, from DSC_0001.JPG or MOV_0001.mp4 to 20150414_213616.JPG or 20150414_090523.mp4.

The new file name is based on the date and time when the file was modified last time or the date and time when a picture or video was taken, depends by user choice for the option.

Rename file using the date and time:

- when the file was added to the media provider;

- when the file was last modified;

- ONLY for the pictures can be used EXIF info, clips do not have support for it.

The user can limit the rename process within some desired folders, including the subfolders, using the option: "Rename within a folder".

The file rename format use Java date and time formats:

- yyyy for years;

- MM for month;

- dd for day;

- HH for hour;

- mm for minutes;

- ss for seconds;

- SSS for milliseconds.

See more format information: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

The rename service, if is enabled, automatically is triggered when the image or movie file is saved on the device media storage using two ways:

1. events send by the camera, but the camera application must send com.android.camera.NEW_PICTURE or android.hardware.action.NEW_PICTURE, otherwise, the rename service is not triggered.

2. events send by the Media content changes, this imply a service which observ all changes on the media content.

Attention!

1. The rename service will scan for all files with the name starting using the original name prefix, default is DSC_, wildcards can be used on the prefix definition (be carefully is in testing this, like: DSC_*0 or D?C_). Others phone use names like: CAM or PIC or else, you need to know what is your default prefix name and change it accordingly.

Please check if none of your provided patterns match with a folder name!

2. If is selected the media content observer, then the auto rename service could be trigger not only when a picture/video is taken, but also can be trigger when images/videos are added/modified/deleted from the internal and external storage.

I'm a simple Java developer with some basic Android knowledge. I made this application for my own proposes and I want to share with other users.

Unfortunately I don't have knowledge or money to make translations for other languages.
