Hi Pamu

I'd like to remove the white space, and then my plan is to modify the windows explorer names so that I can add more files

Eg. I'd like to change
<quote>----------+ 1 None 3647968 Jul 21 08:41 2012-07-21\ (1).JPG
----------+ 1 None 3635983 Jul 21 10:29 2012-07-21\ (2).JPG
----------+ 1 None 738515 Jul 21 10:34 2012-07-21\ (3).JPG</quote>

to

----------+ 1 None 3635983 Jul 21 10:29 2012-07-21(0200).JPG
----------+ 1 None 738515 Jul 21 10:34 2012-07-21(0300).JPG</quote>

with the zeros added, I can add other photos like
<quote>----------+ 1 None 3647968 Jul 21 08:41 2012-07-21(0101).JPG</quote>

and they will be in proper chronological sequence.
