How do I batch rename in Photos (not iPhoto)?

MacBook Air

I hope this forum included Photos. In iPhoto I routinely import photos from my camera and do a batch rename. How do I do that in Photos? Can't find anything in Help nor here. Thanks.

There is a separate Photos for Mac forum here: Photos for Mac

Photos does not support batch changing of titles or captions. You can change the titles and captions individually in the Info panel for each photo.


Or try an Apple Script or Automator workflow. We put a few scripts for batch changing in the User Tip section.
