Subject: Changing File Extensions in Batches?
Acadia, here's another utility that'll do batch conversions and so many, many other great things with graphics: the Irfran viewer. I think its the single best utility on my PC, and its 100% free. You can change the extension, convert to .bmp, etc.
Quote - If all you want to do is change the file extension:
Open a DOS window of the directory containing the files.
type: "ren *.psp *.jpg" without the quotes
Hit
It should take about a second.
This example shows renaming a bunch of .psp files to .jpg.
Thanks everyone. I'll have to try one of those download utilities because DOS is way before my time with computers and I don't know anything about DOS except that you can do major damage to your computer if you do something wrong with it, LOL

I downloaded the I-4a Rename. Great program!
I'm soooo glad I asked about this. At least now my tedious task will be a little less tedious :)
Thanks again.

Not sure where to ask this because it's not hardware related or HTML related, so I'll ask here :)
Is there a utility or function in Windows 2000 that allows batch conversion of files from one extension to another? I need to make a whole lot of thumbnails for some presets for a graphic filter/plugin. What I've been doing because I'm dyslexic is copying the preset file to a separate folder and changing the file extension to .jpg, and then creating the .jpg thumbnail and over writing that file. This way I don't have to worry about mistyping the file name.
I've tried a batch conversion inside Paint Shop Pro, but because the files I want to change the extension of aren't graphic files PSP can't open them to convert them.
Is there a utility that will make this process less painful or am I stuck renaming several hundred files manually one by one?
