I use iPhoto almost every day to import pictures from my camera, my iPhone, or my friends' cameras, but I usually forget to put a good name on the imported images -- so they import with those ugly titles such as P102453.jpg, IMG_1453.jpg, etc.

To partially solve this problem, I've created a Smart Album with the following conditions:

If [Any] of the following conditions are true:

Note that different cameras will probably have different prefixes, so adjust as necessary.

Now, after importing my photos, I just open this Smart Album, select all the photos, then use Photos » Batch Change (Shift-Command-B), and set the title to empty text. No more ugly titles!
