Explanation: Web gallery generators like jAlbum create a lot of html files. In my gallery site I want to provide only one page and then just change the content of the page. And this I have managed to do in testing. To make things easier I want the image files to have consecutive numbering in their filenames, so after selecting the photos for display and putting them into a folder I drop the folder onto a Rexx program which removes the original numeric component of the filenames and renames the files with consecutive numeric identifiers. It also converts the name to only lower case characters. Unfortunately this renumbering leaves the title unaffected, and applications like pmView uses the title rather than the real name. So does anyone know how to synchronize Title to Real Name? Regards Dennis. -- Howard's "Fair Dismissal" means it's fair for sleaze-bag bosses to sack anyone who rejects their sleazy gropings. How will you explain that to your daughter.

Hi Dennis How about using Rexx SYSSETOBJECTDATA to alter the Title as well? Following added by son Chris. Instead of using the system "REN" command, use: call syssetobjectdata "current_name_inc_path","TITLE=new_filename_without_path" For instance: call sysfiletree directory()"\*.*","stem","fo" do i=1 to stem.0 call charout ,"["filespec("N",stem.i)"] " parse pull newname if newname\="" then call syssetobjectdata stem.i,"TITLE="newname end This program will run through the files in the current directory and prompt for a new name for each. (Hit Enter to keep the same name). Note it reads file names, not titles... to read titles you need WPTools.DLL; replace the call charout line with: call wptoolsqueryobject stem.i,,"curtit"; call charout ,"["curtit"] " Bon chance!
