Picture Ace offers you saveral ways to name saved images. You can select the desired naming scheme in the Image Options dialog. Open it using the Options -> Images command in the main program menu or use the tray icon menu or the IE button menu.

  

You may need to click the Naming options button to show the image naming options.

There are three naming schemes: original name, numerical name, current date + numerical name. In all previous tutorials we were saving images under their original names, i.e. their names on the web site. Sometimes it is more convenient to give images numerical names. Let's select the Generate numerical name option. Note that you can also set a prefix, a number of digits and the first number to start naming from. Set these values to the ones shown on the screen-shot below:

Click OK and switch the current destination folder to Scenery.

  

Now save two pictures below using the Ctrl + Click combination or the IE context menu (the Save Image command):

Open the current destination folder.

  

We can see that the images have been saved correctly (the prefix + a number).

In most cases it's okay to leave the original file name, but occasionally you may need to give an image another name. For instance, the original name of the image is Timberline.jpg and you want to name it SmallWood.jpg. Doing this by setting the prefix value is not very convenient since you need to open the Image Options dialog first. Happily, Picture Ace offers another, much more convenient way. Let's first switch back to the Original naming scheme.

The trick is that when you hold the Shift key while saving an image, the Image File Name dialog appears. The dialog allows you to change the file name of the image. Press and hold down the Shift key, then Ctrl + Click the picture below (or use the Save Image command), release the Shift key after the Image File Name dialog appears.

Replace Timberline with SmallWood and press Enter (or click OK).

Picture Ace saves the picture as SmallWood.jpg.

Note that in the Image File Name dialog you could also change the destination folder and even create a subfolder.

If you want the Image File Name dialog to appear every time you save an image and don't want to hold the Shift key, there is such an option in the Web Browser Options dialog.
