Not possible.... Well, possibleish, we are already having our designers fgixing them manually....

Quick explanation, I work for a newspaper. As ads and artwork are sent to us for publication, we get alot on CD or ZIP. Well, a years worth of CD's with 4 MB each on them for 2-300 ads a week, is alot of physical storage room, and makes things hard to find.

Our designers are supposed to drop the files they need on this Icon, which makes copies out to our Linux NAS server, which arranges them into volumes for burning. The designers are not supposed to have to "think" about the process.... The script can tell a .qxd from a .indd, etc... And of course, we can't just go tell our clients to fix their CD's or we won't run their ads.

Right now, the script is popping up a TK alert and telling the designers to go fix it manually, but we crave elegance. I guess you could say the designers are the violent psychopaths that know where I live.

On a completely unrelated note.... Thanks for the module repository, and other website goodies of yours I have made use of.
