No need for single click enable to get tooltips. I like consecutive numbering for my work. After converting any image, I always put a name infront of the last half, which keeps the original number in the file. I can then easily look it up. It also make it easy to backup my RAW files onto CD. No renaming needed, except for my 'keepers'. Like 'heron_0356.JPG'. This way I can have lots of heron files, all with different numbers. And I can then sort by name of bird, or any other subject I've chosen. -- Jim Davis Nature Photography http://jimdavis.oberro.com Replies in plain text only please! * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
