I'd like to suggest that the organizer has the ability to 'reconnect' renamed files (with a bit of luck. So, exporting is adequate most of the time. The main reason to rename is to be able to keep your custom sort order defined in albums for use in another catalog or third-party software, like slideshow editor. The editor 'process multiple files' has more renaming templates, but the only flexible renaming tool is the downloader, when you download from camera or card reader.
The organizer itself has only the renaming with a common starting text string plus a sort order. I used Picasa face tags and albums as my "structure", neither of which can be exported, so all that work was lost! That is why I am switching to Photoshop and also why I want a robust file and folder naming scheme, in case I have to move on again. Secondly, I previously invested a lot of time and effort using Picasa only to have Google discontinue supporting it, which can only mean some day it will not work at all. I do use tagging and albums within Photoshop and it works well.as long as I am working in Photoshop. (To enable me to easily find the original hard copy in the future, if necessary) I started scanning old photos almost 10 years ago and did not pay much attention to filenames in the beginning, now I want to retroactively commonize my filename structure so individual photo files will be identifiable by filename even if the original file has been moved or copies have been exported and shared with others.
The primary one is to maintain the original location and order of scanned photos removed from old albums. I have several reasons to want descriptive and sequential names for photo files within folders.
