Hi John,

thanks for your answer.

Does this script only create better filenames in "show_names" (or your 
folder) or does it rename filenames in the folder with the recorded 
episodes ?

I want the 2nd option and it seems to me that the above script 
corresponds to the 1rst option.

I want to copy readable filenames from the laptop to the desktop computer.

cheers

Klaus
