Hi Zack,

This is probably not exactly what you want, but you can do something very
close in Windows (if you are PC) with the file>rename command. Select all
files in the folder, leaving the cursor in the file you want to be the
first,click right  mouse button, select rename and enter the common
characters you want for all the files, then click enter and you end up
with a series of files with the common name (or number) name and a serial
numeral in parenthesis.

All the best

Miguel

Does anyone know of a quick macro that will rename all files(just jpegs)
