Superb, it works!  Many thanks.  I love a simple app that does exactly what you need it to do :)

Great.  I'm glad it's working for you.  =]

Just one thing; i clicked Help,About and the message box is empty.  Presumably this would have the answers to these questions;

* What does Edit, Launch File do?
* What do the Get data... and Update highlighted... buttons do?

Doh, forgot to take out the Edit, Launch entry.  As for the other buttons:

• Get data from focused row -- This will populate the the radio button cluster and the output directory field below the listview with the data from the focused row.
• Update highlighted rows -- Let's say you just dropped a slew of TIFF files on the listview.  Highlight them all, choose a rotation, set the output directory field and then click that button.  ALL highlighted rows will be updated with your entered values.  It's a quick way to set the rotation/output data for lots of rows.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Mucho thanks once again Skwire, I do believe that this will provide a genuine boost to my productivity.  I'll drop you a donation as a token of my appreciation.

On a technical note would you be able to explain how you did it?  Was it all autohotkey or something else?  And would you have the source code?  As I said way back at the top of this thread I am trying to learn how to create different kinds of programs on Windows and would like to make things like this for other people as well.

Give this a shot and see if it's what you had in mind.  If so, I'll set up the typical webpage, write a help file and release it.

Just one thing; i clicked Help,About Contents, and the message box is empty. Edit-  sorry you clearly said you would write a Help File. 

Presumably this would have the answers to these questions;

No rush at all mate, it's lovely that you took this one!

I'm promise I'm still working on this; apologies for the delay.
