It works perfectly fine, and I can't find anything that does as good a job. I have one problem: Is there a way to exclude certain file types or to limit the script to a particular image folder? The reason I would want this ability is that I have certain images in my MediaWiki image folders (local and shared) that I would want to be left out by the script, things like icons, logos, etc. If I could exclude them by file type, I would just convert them to the excluded file type (e.g tif). Or if I could limit it to a particular folder, I would move all such images to another folder. I guess this is not very hard to do but as you would have guessed, I am not a programmer. Thanks for your help! Fred Hello Rob,
