apart from how to spell "Batch" I need to know how I can go through a whole folder of images on windows that some really helpful client:
1. put a double extension on.
2. put spaces in the filename.
3. capitalised the filenames.ie the files should be named like this:
forfucksake.jpg
but they are named like this:
For Fucksake.jpg.jpg
anyone please??
the thought of all that F2 and cursor taps has put a cold shiver in ma bawsack.

well, the double extension thing is easy:
RENAME *.jpg.jpg *.jpg

I used to have a program that did exactly what you ask, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was or where it is.
I did download it from tucows though, and a quick search for 'windows filename editor' over there gives, amongst others..

..which might be up your alley?
Acescence's solution is done through DOS, in case he's popped off.

nairn, do you drink whisky?
seriously that has made my week, I've been dreading doing this for ages!!
That wee program did in 10 seconds what woud have taken me 30 minutes or more of repetitive keystrokes.

search for a renamer at versiontracker.com, I've used a few from there, they're all about the same really.

I'm more of a wine man, but as I'm just pouring a wee snifter of cheap beaujolais, I'll happily raise a glass with you :)
I'm glad it was useful to you - they're good those wee programs, eh? I can't remember what I originally used mine for - but I do remember nearly wetting myself with relief. Kind of crazy that this functionality isn't built-in to Explorer.
Anyway..
'clink!

adobe bridge does it.

You can also use Photoshop, create an action and you're set.

thanks horton & Daro,
I don't have Bridge :(
and the actions were fucking about when it came to the "save for web" step...
thanks all the same, the wee bit of kit detritus posted a link to is top notch!!
