So I was at work one day and my upper management wanted me to rename millions and millions of pictures by adding the date that it was taken behind the rest of the name. So I didn’t want to do it manually which is what the person before me had been doing you know right click change name. That would take forever so I created with the only resource I had available a batch file.

Error(important):
When the for loop goes through the tokens the rename doesn’t work saying that it is invalid. Not sure how to fix it as it was working until I finally got the date taken working.

@echo off

cls
:CD
SET add=0
cls
echo Change directory?
echo.
set /p "cho=>"
if %cho%==y goto Change
if %cho%==Y goto Change
if %cho%==n goto Open
if %cho%==N goto Open
cls
echo That's not a valid choice.
pause
goto CD
:Open
cls
echo Change file name to:
echo.
set /p "newname=>"
set i=0
for %%X in ("*.jpg") do (
ren %1 tree
)
pause
goto end
:Change
cls
echo Enter the desired directory.
set /p "x=>"
CD /D "%x%"
goto Open
:end

Any help you could would be amazing. Thank you very much.

instead of writing your own little batch, I’d use a prog that already is out there, example ( non tested ) :
