I have Editpad Lite, but I don't use it. For some bizarre reason, I prefer Notepad. Dunno why. Anyway, I tried the Adsoft one and it's fine for what I need. Didn't see no spyware. I also tried a couple of new renamers, but I'm sticking with the one I already have. I was surprised to find that the one most people use, CK Renamer, can't even number a batch of files from 001 - whatever. It can only add numbers to exising ones. Pretty useless to me for thumbnails and web work. And the other one that Dreamstogo mentioned was awful. It's 'e-mailware' and kept trying to access the net even after I sent the guy an e-mail. So that one went head-first out the window. Here's the file renamer I use. It does everything I can imagine wanting to do. And is free. http://www.it-falke.com/software/us_renamefiles.php mac PS I'm not using any hot links until that nasty porn script has been beaten to death.
