* About nomenclature of file directory

%Y 4 figures year
%y 2 figures year
%m Month
%d Day
%H Hour
%M Minute
%S Second
%w Week (English)
%W Week (Japanese)
%e Extensions
%p MyPicture Folder

Example :  %y%m%d_%H%M%S -> 050315_221202
For example, when photographing date is 12:34:59 on February 14, 2005, it is replaced by %Y=2005, %y=05, %m=02, %d=14, %H=12, %M=34, and %S=59.
- Time stamp is used case where there is no EXIF header, and except JPEG file.
- % specification from photography information is effective also in output destination change directory.
- Picmv is created without check when specified directory does not exist.
- %% shows % character itself.
- Extension cannot be described to file nomenclature.
- % o is replaced by original file name and directory name.
- Processing in case file name overlaps selects beforehand whether serial number is added, it does not copy, or it overwrites.



*  Notes

- If automatic recognition of memory card moreover has a directory called DCIM in root with removable disc, it will be recognized to be it.
- Function of image processing system is effective only in JPEG.
- In rotary function of image, because repressing of JPEG is performed, quality of image deteriorates.
- Thumbnail is always performing by linear interpolation and unsharp mask processing.
- Ejection function is "extraction of removable disc" as used in the field of Explorer.
  They are not "removal of hardware", and "halt of hardware."
- Drag and drop is received only in the state where it has started.
  Even if it drops with Picmv.exe from Explorer, it only starts.
- When original file is read-only attribute, file after copy always cancels read-only attribute.
- Time stamp of original file is always copied to file after copy as it is.
- Preview of those other than JPEG file cannot be performed.
- File of folder named PREVIEW does not copy.
- Options and setup are saved at PicMove.ini of directory installed with "setting preservation" button.
- Please delete PicMove.ini to return to default state.
- It presupposed un-recommending overwrite setup.
  It is the worst and there is risk of file disappearance.
  When performing package copy of photograph with this time EXIF information, and the photograph 
  which had this time time stamp without EXIF, file group which is the same file name and for which it 
  waited is because only the last copy may survive by overwrite.
  File will be lost when check is being put in for "Delete Original Files" at this time.
