Easiest way to rename all linked graphics without having torescale?

[Syed.Hosain at aeris.net]

Years ago, I wrote a little DOS command utility that changes one string to another on a large set of files, without having to open each one in an editor.

It is a very limited program (in that you have to be careful to NOT have an overlap in the "from" and "to" strings" and you have to be certain that you want all the changes everywhere!), but I have used it for this exact purpose on a number of occasions (not just on MIF files). If anyone wants a copy, please let me know off the list.

Verner,
Probably the best way is through MIF.
 
You could use a program like TextPad, shareware from www.textpad.com (or $35US if you like it), and open all of your MIF files at one time, versus opening and closing each MIF in something like Notepad.

Hi
We have to rename all linked graphics.
 
My plan is to
 
1. generate a list of linked graphics for each chapter
2. convert the list to a table with two column and writh the new
graphics name in the right column
3. rename all graphics
4. Close and open FM and for each graphics point to the new file name.
 
I have to do this for 250 .pngs.
 
I was thinking about editing in .mif files or scripts but I think this
is the easiest solution.
 
Do you have an easier solution?
