Not sure whether I am stating the obvious or is even relevant.
In Win Explorer if you type (top right Corner "search computer")
IMG0001.* all files with this name in the main title regardless of their extension will be listed, will they not ? And if you type
IMG000*.* all files with IMG000 in their name with running numbers you gave them will be listed.
The old DOS wild card search string is still very useful. You can place the asterisk * anywhere in the search string. For example, pictures which I want to keep after RAW conversion I re-name, say,
Hanoi Waterpuppets 01 IMG7202.tif and if I have 15 different ones I number them Waterpuppets 01 to 15 followed by the IMG numbers. By doing this I preserve the original IMG number. Later when I want to pull out pictures of waterpuppets I put in the search string
*waterpuppets*.* and all the waterpuppests picture are found including those I took in Saigon (if I had named them such) and all the original IMG Raw files will be listed as well no matter where they live on the disk.
You can tailor the wild card * to suit you.
Now, as I said I am not sure if I state the obvious and you already know all this or if this is of any help, or perhaps you have just forgotten about this.
