can't remember for the life of me exactly how but there should be a command line way of setting up a template where you could select all the even ending or odd ending numbers in the filename sequence if that triggers anything for anyone

if they are exactly the same why are they different sizes ? Thats gonna be hard to tell

**SmokeyTheBear** · 03-31-2005, 09:07 PM

you could always show icons and make the explorer window 2 icons wide

by the time you find a program that will do it for you, you could have just done it manually.

**SmokeyTheBear** · 03-31-2005, 09:11 PM

That's what I was thinking too. Then just select one column and delete.

**Jim_Gunn** · 03-31-2005, 09:12 PM

I have one suggestion. This particular shareware program has a button that lets you auto-select every other image from a list of images that it would normally download from a web page. Maybe if you made a local html page containing links to all the files, let it select every other one and then "download" them to another folder. Think that should work in just a few steps. http://picturedownloader.mihov.com/

you're brilliant. that just may work.

they are exactly the same pics but diff sizes possibly cuz the program must have captured 2 pictures every "x" amount of seconds... i cant tell with the naked eye.
