That would be pretty easy to do in code. Do you have all of the files in one folder (up the path), so you could point a function at one folder, and have it drill through the subfolders, moving everything to the root?

It (the camera) numbers them aoutomatically, e.g., 101_0110, 101_0111, 101_0112, etc. I would like to get all the pictures into one folder but a lot of the names are the same because when you erase the memory module in the camera it starts the numbering sequence over. My question, is there a way I can rename a bunch of files in a folder at one time, e.g., rename all the "101_" to "NewOrleans" and leave the trailing numbers for uniqueness, then I could get them all in one folder with a prefix that is neaningful. Any thoughts on how to do this? BTW Win 98 SE.
