Sure, you could manually rename or sequentially number dozens of files, but why not save time using this handy, dandy little application? Filename Formatter was originally designed for use by the creative crew at EyeWire (and before that Image Club Graphics) to streamline a wide range of tedious file naming tasks. After keeping it in-house for several years, someone decided that maybe our customers could benefit from this tool as well. Thanks to that fine, upstanding individual - you can now use Filename Formatter in the comfort of your own home or office. Enjoy. Comments, bug reports, and feedback regarding this software may be e-mailed to <goodies@eyewire.com> Although we certainly appreciate hearing from you, please be aware that Filename Formatter is not a commercial product. In fact, it’s just something that we slapped together in our spare time. The bottom line is… don’t expect full-blown, 24/7 technical support for this puppy.
