Hello Peter,

I am quite sure that TJ did not mean to criticize your technique to file the
images, but maybe just offering to write a quick script to do a batch
renaming of the figures (at least that's how I read it).
Anyway, the only reason I am writing yet another email in this thread is
because I really like the contents of the sign on your desk and I am afraid
I will have to steal it: you have been warned! :-)

Cheers,

Michele
