SC4 Picture Folder

Over the course of my city so far, I have been taking many pictures (now over 100) of various areas as they progress through time. In preparation for a CJ which I plan to start soon, I want to sort my pictures chronologically. Unfortunately, SimCity doesn't keep track of the pictures chronologically. The file names take the format "CityName-Month Date, SomeNumber.png". I have two questions, only one of which I need answered:

  1. How do you interpret the number at the end of the filename? Does it somehow contain information about the year?
  2. How would you interpret the ".info" files that go along with each picture?
I don't know for sure whether this question has been asked before, so if it has, you can link me to it. Thank you in advance.

Hello!

I can't really help you interpret the strange numbers at the end of the pictures...but if you want to put your pictures in chronological order, there's an easier way.  Your folder can display certain info about the files within, and they can be sorted in a variety of ways: Name, size, etc.  All you have to do is sort them by "Date Modified" and they'll be in order (either latest first or earlier first...just click again to get the opposite order).  Voila!  Your pictures are now in order and ready to be edited and used.

That's the method I use, anyways.  I hope it works for you!
