Damn..that's harsh..


I haven't heard of an app like that. Maybe just use a hex editor and do it manually?

I mainly want to identify and rename the jpgs. I found , but the GUI of it requires .NET, and I don't feel like downloading a 28 MB runtime to run a 33k app.

So I need a program that, given a directory, will scan every file in it, and rename the files it can positively identify so they have the proper extension.

Well, so much for TrID. I tried the DOS version on a single file, and got the result:

Analyzing...

100.0% (.AIR) MS Flight Simulator Aircraft Performance Info (4/3)

I'm positive beyond a shadow of a doubt that I did not have an ".AIR" file on my CF card. :) I've never even used MS Flight Simulator.

In a Unix environment, the file command will identify the type of a file using a slew of magic number information.
