I don't know if one even exists, but I'm looking for a program that
will place the name of the file in the corner of .jpg pictures, doing
multiple pictures in one batch. If anyone knows of a free one, I'd
be eternally grateful.

TIA

Try ImageMagick for Linux, Mac, Solaris, Windows, etc.
http://www.imagemagick.org

For example, the command:

mogrify -gravity southwest -font Times-New-Roman-bold -pointsize
12 -fill green -draw "text 5,5 '%f'" *.jpg

will put the filename near the bottom left corner of each jpeg image in
the current folder, overwriting the originals.

You need "text 17,17 ... " or the text (save 5px) drops off the
canvas.

"text 5,5 '%f'" works for me, using IM 5.4.9 on WinXP.
Oh, well.

How odd. Using linux, here:

$ display -version

Version: ImageMagick 5.5.7 08/28/03 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

Thanks for the recommendation - the only thing is, I can't work out
how to use it with the command line. I'm running Win '98 - I've
installed & got the ImageMagick Display window okay, but how do you
work it with command lines? How do you even get to the command line?
It looks like a very powerful program, but I can't find anything in
the help files about getting to the command line - it just assumes
the user knows. I'm afraid it's going into unexplored territory for
me, but I would really like to learn.

Any help, or directions to help, would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

since become paid or disappeared.

Go to the Start button, choose Run...

In the dialog that pops up, put in "command" (sans quotes). Presto. Command
line, AKA DOS box, AKA Command Prompt.
