iPhoto titling and export

Hello
I have lots of "old" photos without time-stamp and also want the file name to be kept. It hinders me from using iPhoto. I also have tried Aperture, this program could change file names but does the sorting wrong with my numbering system (e.g. 2010.09_000 Vienna.jpg). Why is Apple leaving the usual file identification in these programs?
Thanks for Your question!!!!

When I retitle images in iPhoto, then select all and save to a desktop file, it reverts to the original file name. I would like the file to take the newly titled name. How can I do this? Thanks.

WHen you Title an image, you're doing just that - adding a title to the photo. There is no way to rename a file in iPhoto.

On export, if you use File -> Export you can use the Title as a filename for the exported image. It's one of the options in the Export dialogue.

Your question isn't clear.

You want the Filename to be Kept? Or the Title you've added in iPhoto?

Thanks, for Your interest ...

I want to keep my filenames, I don't use Titles. I want to be absolutely sure to be able to change back to Expression Media 2 at any time. There I need filenames. I don't want to get "locked" into iPhoto.

By the way: Aperture would work with filenames, but it sorts "alphabetically" and brings my numbering scheme (e.g. 2010.09_122) Munich.jpg into disorder. What a pity ...

Then I really don't understand your problem.

iPhoto won't change filenames, period. If there is no title iPhoto will use the Filename instead.
