mac to pc missing file extensions

aphex · 28 Oct 2006 at 00:56

I have an archive of images that I was given to work on but because the source of the files were from a mac I don't have any file extensions for any of the files.

Is there a windows program that can automatically add extensions to all the files? I have probably a few thousand images and obviously doing it all manually is out of the question!

Cheers

if they're all in the same folder, then browse to it in explorer and type this..

ren * *.jpg

-or whaver extention you want

you could make a bat file in notepad containing that, save it as 'pictures.bat' -make sure its not .bat.txt, place it in each folder you want to do, then double click the bat file

Thanks will give it a go but I'm not 100% sure if they are all one file format though.

copy a bunch of them into a c:\test\ folder or something first
