Found a shortcut for batch renaming files in Windows that saved me 2 hours of manual clicking
I had 150 photos from a wedding shoot in April with those stupid camera file names so I tried the old school highlight-and-rename trick where you rename the first one and the rest auto-fill, but it actually worked in under 10 seconds, has anyone else stumbled on a dumb simple fix like that and felt like a genius?

Dude yes! I felt like a hacker the first time I did that. I had like 200 PDFs for some project and they all had those long random names from the scanner. I just smashed F2 on the first one, named it "Project stuff" and hit enter. Boom. Every single one renamed in order. My coworker watched me do it and his jaw dropped. Now people think I'm some kind of wizard at work lmao.
