Saving Files

[RuralSky]

Hello, I have been using PSP for years but I recently bought a new laptop and now I'm having trouble naming files. I've been checking everything I can think of to figure out what I'm doing wrong but I don't know what I'm missing.

For an example:
I'll save a file and name it: fall trees1.jpg
When I want to name the next file, I'll try -- fall trees1a.jpg fall trees2.jpg falltrees2.jpg but I keep getting the message that a file with the same name already exists. The only way that I can use a similar name for the second file is if I save it in another file format or if I save it in another folder and then move the 2 files into the same folder after they have both been saved.

Please help me figure out why I'm getting the message that the file name already exists. thank you!

I'm using PSPx7 and have a similar file naming system. All my versions have ...mod01, mod02, mod03 on the end. Never had an issue. I can't help other than suggest a Windows problem.

Maybe someone else can come up with something more positive.

I'm on Windows 7 Pro; not Windows 10 so this may not work for you.

Try putting the images you want to rename in the same folder:
1. Control A to select all of them
2. Either right-click on one of them and select Rename or F2 to rename
3. Type your new name and hit enter. All will have the same name with a 1, 2, 3 etc. appended.

Or if you want to give them each a unique name follow the above steps and instead of hitting enter in step 3 use the tab key to move from one image to the next.

Try putting a space after the title before the suffix- I usually do this and have had no problems.
