    Batch change of file extensions - Windows 10


    I have recovered 900 photos, these now have the .chk file extension. I can change individual files to .jpg and then the image is fine. I now need to convert all 900 in one folder. Hopefully there is a method to run a 'batch' conversion. Grateful for any advice please.

    :)

  2. Renaming Multiple File Extensions With a Batch File

    Hello,

    Pretty self explanatory question, but not turning up the results I need. If I use a command line window to change a bunch of file types, I can do the following:

    CD LocalDirectory\Is\Located\Here

    REN *.jpg *.tif

    This changes every file that has a JPG extension to a TIF. I'm trying to replicate the same thing, but do it in a batch file, but I keep throwing an error that says "The system cannot find the file specified." I'm not sure if the syntax has to be different
    as a batch file as opposed to just typing it into Windows Command Line itself. Here is the code I have now:

    Code:
    title Image File Extension ChangeECHO Finding directory, please wait.CD LocalDirectory\Is\Located\HereECHO Renaming files, please wait.
    
    ren *.jpg *.tif
    
    pause
    Thank you for the help!

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Batch change of file extensions - Windows 10

    Batch Files Knowledge Base

    Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
    Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

    dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

    When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.
