There is a free program called Batch Thumbs. It will create thumbnails for all the selected files and/or rename them and/or copy them to another folder. I use it all the time. My biggest county is Upshur and so far I have over 24,000 cemetery pictures online with several thousand more waiting in the wings for me to get online. I could not do it without Batch Thumbs for renaming them with no spaces. http://www.harmware.net/ Elaine Wanda Qualls wrote: > Does it take the spaces out.
