1. Click "Browse...", locate the file on the your hard drive, and click on it. The name of the file will appear both where it says "Source filename" and "Destination filename".
2. Give your file a more descriptive name in "Destination filename" so people can find it when searching. Except for the file extension (e.g., .jpg), the "source filename" and "destination filename" do not have to be the same. For example: If the Source filename is Ww1-gas3.jpg, rename it WWI Art - Gassed - by John Singer Sargent.jpg in Destination filename.
