Need utility to convert photos to p####

jwalkerdb · 06-25-2005, 08:20 PM

Goooooooooooooood Evening,

I've looked around and haven't found one yet.

I have downloaed a number of photo files to use with my league. The problem is that the files are not named in the right convention. Is there a utility that will take a large number of files with various file names and convert them to the OOTP "p1846" file name format. All at once, automatically, without further human intervention. It seems very time consuming to renumber each and every photo one by one.

If there is no utility, does anyone have any ideas on the best way to go about this.

Warmest regards,

John

The batch conversion/rename function should work.

Gooooooooooood Evening gubaru,

Thanks! This worked perfectly and saved me tons of time. I don't know how to do it, but someone should get this posted as a "sticky" thing. Thanks again.

Warmest Regards,

John

Lets say you have the player John Doe

you can save the pic as John_Doe and it will load into the game. As long as the pic is bmp

Goooooooooooooood Afternoon t_wil,

Thanks for your advise, all I can say is that gubaru's suggestion worked great for me. And I think disposableheroes seems to agree. If your just looking to get random pictues in quickly, I think it is the way to go. Try it if you get the chance or have the need.

Warmest Regards,

John
