HI, I was wondering if any one can assist me in recovering 'file names' on picture files have mysteriously gone, leaving numbers only.
I have in the past used Zoombrowser software with a G12. Many thousands of photo's over many years, with file names have now suddenly been decimated, either due to some ZB software update...or perhaps windows? How could all the picture file names suddenly go missing?
Since these files need the original file names in order to make best sense of the images, it would be nice if there was an easy fix to recover the original file names.

Within the requisite folders, there exists a file called ZBthumbnail info, or something to that effect.

Thank you in advance. Any help appreciated much.

..Sorry to hear about this mishap..

..really is bad when softwares causes glitches like this..

..the only thing I can think of, is if you have backup of these pictures elsewhere..

..or.. if you have created a "Restore Point" in your Windows prior to this..

..Best wishes..
