I just searched and came up with the recent
thread on the XP BRU.
I will be migrating soon, and have adopted the habit
in 98se of using ACDSee as my windows explorer
because of the ability to rename bulk files with a continuum
using a Hatch controller.
If I have a file named say "Part Number 123456"
in ACDSee I can select 450 files say, hit F2
and type in "Part Number 1234##" and place 57 as my
beginning number in the rename sequence.
ACDSee will then rename the 450 files continuing on
from 123457.
I wonder if BRU offers anything similar?
Thanks.
...and to push my luck, with an aside, I just tried to zip
my son's homework file in MSWord, and the file
will only zip 2%, which seemed strange with 2 pages of text
and two of *.jpg images, does this sound "ball park"?
Thanks
I can only reply to the second part of your question, but I'd say:
"Yeah, that's about right". .jpg files are *already* compressed, and
1-2% is the most you gain through zipping them. The two pages of text
might amount to, say, 20k-30k. Two pages of .jpg's may well be a
megabyte or two. As the zip utility "sees" it, that homework assignment
is overwhelmingly pictures, so as I said: 2% overall for that package
sounds about right.
