Frequently asked questions

Which tokens can I use?

{name} is the current name, {source} the name of the original file, {n} a number ({n:000} with zeros), {total} the number of documents, {pages} the number of pages and {date} today's date.

What happens to characters that aren't allowed in a file name?

sorter removes them, such as / and :. If two documents get the same name, the second one gets (2) after it.

Can I rename one document?

Yes. Click the name of a document and type a new name, or choose Rename in that document's menu.

Can I undo it?

Yes. Renaming is one step: Undo puts all names back.
