[BNM] image renaming

[AndrewGill73@gmail.com]

Richard,

Perhaps a quicker way depending on your skillset...

...Have you thought of doing it in Excel?

Make a column of all your numbers (1,2,3....)
Make a column of all the corresponding names
Then insert a column with DOS command "RENAME " on each row.

Then copy and paste all the fields to a command prompt, and run it.

Cheers,
Andy
