Listers (or those that have stuck around...)
Here's my dilemma (victim of success + poor planning): we have a series of
projects that involve pictures of locations associated with shapefile points
(hot linking). The poor planning part was that we now have multiple large
area projects done, but for each one, we have numerically sequenced the
photo Id numbers to match the Id number in the attribute table (again,
strictly for the purposes of hot linking). This works just fine for a
single project area, but when we want to view all project areas in a single
geodatabase, well, the daunting task of renaming all the photos so we have
only unique names is, well, unthinkable. I am looking for a way to rename
"en masse" all the photos for a given project area to something more "smart"
(like alpha-numeric, etc. etc.) so that I can put all these location records
in a geodatabase and have them find the correct photo when the hotlink
button is used. I really have created quite a headache for myself, and hope
that I am not a pioneer in this backwards approach and that someone has
developed a tool to remedy this....
TIA, Anthony
Ps. If no one has done this, if there are smart people who want to get paid
for developing it, let's talk...
