Nah, I like IrfanView a lot despite the crappy LUA handling.

Yes, in practice it's impossible to enforce to have all people pay for
Windows XP or Vista.

I am sure there are programs available for *insert your favourite OS* that
can do the renaming thing :-)

Go see -
http://www.rlvision.com/

I wouldn't be without it. (Don't get misled by the "Flash" in its
name; I think the author meant to give the impression it has speed of
operation and ease of use - and it does.)

A simple DOS command. Change to the directory you want to rename the
files and type:
ren 00?.jpg dog?.jpg or whatever you want to change them to. Then ren
0??.jpg dog??.jpg and finally ren ???.jpg dog???.jpg should do it.

Or:
for %f in (*.jpg) do ren %f dog%f

But when I did that, it re-renamed the first file again to dogdog001.jpg for
some reason. However, this one worked:

for %f in (0*.jpg) do ren %f dog%f
