2) The RenameImages.exe tools is a command line utility.  To see the parameters 
   the tool uses enter RenameImage on a command line prompt and hit return.  
   Note: To to a windows command prompt to go Start-Run and enter CMD. 

   The parameters are below:

     RenameImages -map MapFileName
                  -src SourceDirectory -dest DestinationDirectory

       Where:
         '-map MapFileName' is the name and path of the CSV file that
                 contains the map (LookupCode, SourceFileName, ImageIndex).
                 The first row in the file should contain the
                 header row.
         '-src SourceDirectory' is the name of the source directory
                 that contains the source image files to be renamed
         '-dest DestionationDirectory' is the name of the directory
                 that the renamed files will be put.

3) The mapping file specifies the source image name, the product lookup code 
   the image is for and product image index that determines how the file will be 
   named (1 = Summary image, 2 = Detail image, etc...).You can find example image    mapping file (ImageMappingFile.csv) in the
   http://support.bLoyal.com/Utilities/RenameImages directory.  

4) It is strongly recommended that you specify a separate image destination directory
   so the tool will rename and copy the images to a new directory and not rename
   your images in place. 

5) Once the tool has completed your images are ready to be imported into bLoyal
   Director using the bulk image upload tool.
