I got more than 300 image with names that I wish to use as icon and the name
on folder. Hand-create 300 folder seems to be an endless job.
I did try to do it in OS.9, but the icon did not look good in OSX at max
size.
Any idea what osax or application that can do the job?
Thanks

It's kind of like making templates out of folders.
