Can't speak for anyone else, but I used to rename as I downloaded images using Window's Scanner and Camera Wizard when I had an Olympus digital. When I got my 10D, I tried that, but if I had played around with the images (usually deleting) on the card before I downloaded, that seemed to confuse the program into which folder came first. Now I use Canon's Zoom Browser. Painfully slow, but since it also auto-rotates images shot in portrait mode, I find it worth the wait. I have tried using some other programs (ACDSee, for instance) but the lack of auto-rotate kills their usefulness for me. The programs all rename the images to whatever convention I set up, so for games, usually the initial of the two teams, the date, and then the image number. After the images have been saved to my hard drive, I go through and delete the obvious rejects, and rename the keepers by adding (again for games) the player's or players' name(s) or a very brief description. I do all my work from those images, so everything has that file name (or a variation), so if down the road someone orders an 8x10 or wants me to burn a CD with full-size images, they tell me the file name, and I can find it. That makes sense for me, but I'm not shooting a few select images in RAW mode, but high-volume in JPEG.
