XnView Software

Dear colleagues,
I am a beginner. Sorry for this question:

In a folder I do some manual ordering per drag and drop. Then I select (mark) some of them and would like to export this selection into a new location for e.g. uploading into webspace.
The best function I found is "Batch convert", which makes a change in filename with an counting index. Fine. But this does *NOT* preserve my manual ordering I did before.
Do you have any idea how I could do this?

Thank you in advance.
Regards, Thomas

If I understand ...
Drag and drop files to obtain the order you wish, then select them (only select) and use "tools, batch rename"
If you want to preserve original files, copy the whole set in another folder before

Dear Michel,
thank you for your help.
Yes, its a good idea. I will try it in 2 steps. After rearranging and selecting, I'll do a "batch rename" and then an export for my web site.
Great.
It's a fine product. Thank you.

I used Picasa before, but it makes some trouble recently. I am happy with XnView now.

You can also use "create , File list" and generate a list if files , with html added
something like : This will generate a html line for each file selected , for a website ...

Thank you for this hint.
