I ran into a duplicate number problem when my camera went past it's max number so I have to change the first 3 letters in the camera but I really did not like that. The new iView from Nikon has a great utility for changing the file names in a folder so it is an easy process. I did see that when you change a file name in Explorer that LR will see it and update correctly with no problem. Still figuring out how to tag all my photos so that I can sort them anyway I want. I think that method will suit me the best. When I want to see photos of my wife I can just search for her. When I want to see zoo photos etc etc. Either way tagging seems to be the place I need to start. I also need to start deleting a lot of old photos.
