mmm I guess I'm a little slow today hehe...
something like this would probably work (pseudo-code):
cnt = 1
filename = "Picture " + cnt
while(file exist (filename))
cnt ++

I would love to implement something like the default screenshot
utility for OS X does when it names its pictures.. (i.e. Picture 1,
Picture 2, Picture 3.. etc.)
I was wondering if there's already something in place to do that? If
not, I don't mind implementing it myself but I can't really think of
a simple way to do it? Counting the files in a directory is not
really a reliable way to do it (i.e. if you have Picture 2 and
Picture 3 in a directory, your count is 2... try naming your new
picture Picture 3 and it overwrites the existing Picture 3 ...)
I'm fairly good with RegEx so it would be easy to parse filenames
for numbers I guess but it seems a little overkill for such a
trivial task... (especially since my app wouldn't use Regex for
anything else so, I dont want to add a regex framework just for
that)...
Any ideas would be appreciated?
