It's fixable with a little bit of sed and/or a few lines of Perl or awk. However, perhaps the ideal would be to default to a separate images directory in the current directory, putting all images in that directory no matter where they come from, and solving the obvious possibility of duplicate names when images come from different sources by adding '_1', '_2', etc., to the base name of a file when there is already one with that name in the images directory. Even if this is the default, the current solution may be preffered in some cases, so the choice should be given (perhaps in a Preferences setting). Les
