I like the idea. In fact, if you had not beaten me on it, I would have done something similar over the weekend ;-) One minor modification: I think that the operation we need is not moving, but copying. We don't want the original file to move to the temp dir, and we neither want the converted file be moved out of the temp dir, because it might be useful on a subsequent export. > Does this seem like the right way to go? Yes! Georg
