[PRODIG] Re: batch renaming files in PS7

[Anthony Harrison]

Thanks to everyone who contributed ideas - I must get iView, and/or this nifty sounding shareware gizmo. I should have said I'm running Mac OS9.1. It still staggers me that the brand-leading Photoshop cannot perform this basic but profoundly necessary function: I managed to rename a modest batch of files today, but in order to start from the number I required I had to fiddle things by first inserting the right number of pre-numbered spare files ahead of the first in my batch... Good grief.
Shangara, in answer to your << please can you elaborate a little by example.>> all I want to do is take a batch of S2-captured files "DSCF1234.tif" etc and rename them according to my own system, starting from (say) X5678ABC.tif and continuing to maybe X5720ABC.tif, with just the four digits in the middle ascending sequentially.
Regards, Tony H
