I am full of questions tonight. I have thousands of pics and I assumed they would be in the jpeg format. When I try to upload or post to a forum, like this and others, it says that the jpe format is not accepted. I had no idea my pictures were in jpe format. Is there any way to convert them to jpeg format? Is there a way to change the way my computer downloads pics only in jpeg form? Danke!

Thanks for confirming

So, you want to right click on a picture select Properties and after the name of the pic simply add, ".jpg?" Is is that simple? Thanks


Edit: Just tried it that way and it doesn't work. Anymore suggestions? Thanks

Tools -> Folder Options -> View Tab -> untick "hide extensions for known file types"
THEN replace the .jpe extension with .jpg
........

copymachineboy

You may have to set it so that windows shows the file extension.

Tools > Folder Options > View >

there should be a check box for Hide extenstions for known file types

Uncheck it and you should be able to rename them no problem. hopefully




***edit: beat to the punch.***

Sunrise + copemachineboy,
Let's not quibble about who beat who but you can take solace in the fact that your knowledge far outstripes mine when it comes to computer and jpeg's. Thanks to you both, that fixes the situation. I just tried posting and it works just fine. Thanks

if you have a great deal of files to rename, you can use the msdos command interpreter. start->run->
(folder path)\command.com (ie c:\photos\mine\command.com) ->
REN *.jpe *.jpeg

Or, if you do this often, and just want to type it once:

1) Make a new text file in notepad
2) Save it as "rename.bat" or "jpetojpeg.bat" or whatever you want to call it. Just be sure the extention is ".bat"
---- .bat is a batch file. You use these to run... well.. batches.
3) Type what hawkeye wrote in the text/batch file. "REN *.jpe *.jpeg"

---- REN = is code for "rename"
---- *.jpe is a wildcard, for all files that end in .jpe
---- *.jpeg is a wildcard, for all files that WILL end in .jpeg.
---- so in all instantes of (filename).jpe, where * is the filename, it will rename the .jpe file to .jpeg and keep the original file name.

----

Once you save it, put it in a folder with all your .jpe image files. If you store all your images in C:\Images, then put the batch file in there. Double click it to run, and in a few seconds, all your image files will have their new extention. Then, you can cut and paste the batch file into other image folders and do the same thing.
