I think, Michael, you mean "Horse before the cart please". ;-)

The ability to replace all occurrences of a character or string in filenames has been requested numerous times by numerous folks with numerous 'real world examples' on numerous versions of this forum, (even before the historical record). Frankly, I'm surprised that you even question the need.

In any case, Kim has decided to implement this now for a very good reason, (as a complete surprise to me, by the way). So the horse is in it's proper place, and now we are trying to help him build a suitable cart.

I agree with not building any more elaborate a cart than is necessary, (especially for what we've been calling a bug-fix release). By way of my opinions, I am just trying to provide some food for thought. It's up to Kim what part of this he does, and when.

Okay Michael?

- John
