Trying to batch rename photos errors with "Not an Image"

Post by Obutane »

Hi,

I am testing with one photo but basically I have a folder full of Iphone photos so .heic format and I simply want to rename them with any parameter as the folder I want to move them to contains files that almost every single photo shares a name with. When I rename no matter what option I choose it errors out saying that it is not a image.

I have no idea how to solve this problem in XnView. My Favorit for problems like this is ImageMagick, a command line tool. It can handle .heic files.

Are you able to view .heic files, I am not sure what the current position with .heic files is and whether you might need to install a plug-in?
