File | Start batch dialog with selected files

Ah, you meant that it was already part of Irfanview! I thought you
meant that it was an additional utility put out by the Irfanview
people, and had to be downloaded from http://www.irfanview.com/

So I already have it, thanks.

Or just (assuming you are viewing an image from the folder) press B!
(IrfanView has _lots_ of keyboard shortcuts.)

I'm not _sure_ it'll do what Casey wants, though.

Glad to see you back Casey. It's been quiet around here without your
stupid questions. Where were you? Did your modem break?

I'm not following, J. P. I was thinking creative use of wildcards.

Well, lots of people have given probably better answers anyway. I was
just thinking that often, when this sort of thing comes up, someone far
more knowledgeable about them than I am pops up with something like

for %1 in *%20*
do ....

(and I've almost certainly got the syntax wrong). It probably _would_
include creative use of wildcards too.
