- The generic
.rawextension
Camera-specific RAW formats are supported only when their extensions appear in the supported image list above. An unlisted or generic RAW file is skipped during intake.
Notes by file category
Documents
PDF files are handled as document workflows, and other supported documents follow the normal document understanding flow.
RenamerX does not currently provide OCR as a separate feature, so scanned PDFs may produce weaker results when the file does not contain usable text.
Images
Images can contribute embedded metadata and preview data. When useful metadata exists, RenamerX can use it to improve field extraction.
Regular image formats use the standard image processing path. HEIC and HEIF previews are processed with the managed FFmpeg runtime. For supported camera RAW files, RenamerX uses an embedded preview when one is available through ExifTool.
Videos
Videos are processed to produce the fields and preview context needed for more reliable naming suggestions.
What happens with unsupported files
Unsupported files are skipped during intake. They are not forced through the pipeline.
This is intentional. A smaller, reliable support matrix is better than pretending every file format can be named well.
