| Files created on the Instascan machine have names that are too long to be viewed on Macs or CDs. This utility takes care of that by creating new names that are still valid for the scanner. |
To rename an APD file and its header, type
FixAPDName filename.img filename.irp
To rename all of the APD files in a directory, type
FixAPDName *.img *.irp
FixAPDName will replaced strings of '0's in the file name with a '+' sign and will report on its actions. For example, if a directory contains the files:
sample_02214_0004_0001_0001.irp and sample_02214_0004_0001_0001_001.irp
typing:
FixAPDName *.img *.irp
will rename these files and print out:
sample_02214_0004_0001_0001.irp --> sample+2214+4+1+1.irp
sample_02214_0004_0001_0001_001.img --> sample+2214+4+1+1_001.img
to show what it has done.
