[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1184044, member: 141969"] Actually, I have thumbnails switched off :eek:, as I am not a fan of "eye candy"; I much prefer words. Also, thumbnails for recordings are often not apposite (as distinct from DVD covers, where the cover thumbnail usually is appropriate). Having said that, I was looking at an MP log file a few days ago, and I noticed some entries for "thumbnail generation", so perhaps I have not disabled thumbnails in enough places. :( My batch process handles the files one by one, and always has the fully-resolved filespec available (both for source and target). But then I am a programmer. Whether the original poster would be able to do this in his batch process is unclear. Thank you for the SQL examples. I have never knowingly used SQL, so this will be something new to learn. My MP database originates from MP 1.9 pre, which was... MSSQL? I have not updated it on subsequent MP upgrades, as that is the part of the installation that always goes wrong. :cry: -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
