That's where I'm confused NO Dice. I right click on the picture of the plane and then I left click on the word "downoad" and the so called jpg image shows up on my desk top but I can't rename it because it's not named jpg. This is the name I copied off of it so you can see what I mean. f4f_vmf223.zip What am I doing wrong?

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Okay guys,
I'm going to get my Windows 3.1 geek on here. Looking at Morton's system, I figured there had to be a better way than individually renaming each file. Call me lazy, but I don't have that kind of patience. So, I recalled some ancient knowledge to do a work-around.
To rename all these downloads at once, do the following.
1) Create a new folder on your desktop.
2) Download all your pictures from Morton's site.
3) Go into your Windows\System 32 folder and look for "cmd.exe" (This is the old Windows command prompt)
4) Copy this file into your "New Folder" on your desktop.
5) Open cmd.exe in your "New Folder"
6) Type in the following command..."rename *.jpg *.zip*
Presto! Even though the ".zip" is doubled up, they open right up and it saves you the trouble of having to do each one alone.

Hey Rami,
Question; Would it work if you did..."rename *.zip.jpg *.zip* ...?
That way you get rid of the double zip. Just a thought and I have not tried it yet.
Now that I think about it. It might not work were the extention is the last part. I think it may asume the .zip to be part of the name.
If you try it let me know if it works. You could make a batch file to do this.
Till Later,
John

Morton, a special thanks...
Morten,
Combing through your files, I want to send off a special thanks for one of the skins in the AH Bf-109e package. Specifically, I am referring to the "Double Bar and Chevron" E-3 flown by Obstlt. Hugo Witt, Gerschwaderkommodore of JG 26. In many of my aviation books, I have come across this two-tone green and blue underside paint scheme several times, and to be able to have it in the sim is really neat. Thanks!
On a more humorous note...The German language gets the gold medal for stringing together the longest words possible which are meant to be said in conversation.

Morton,
Shessi did an updated, multi-lod conversion of Ted Cooks model during the last year, fixing many if not all of the old problems.

This caused a lot of stir! Thanks for all suggestions and hints. I'm sure there's a lot of ways to do this. But I just select the files (the little checkbox in the upper right corner of the thumbnails) and choose download from the Skydrive menubar. Then I locate the files on my harddrive, delete the .JPG ending from from the filename and unzip. Of course, to do this the explorer must be set to show all File extensions.
Rhumbaflappy,
Yes your discussion sounds very familiar to me. I spent some hours trying to figure out ways to to direct linking etc on Skydrive. If we now have permanent linkaddresses that's good. Let's see what Onedrive will come up with.

Update:
Got a message that they had begun rolling out Onedrive. Only difference at first glance was the titlechange to Onedrive ...
