You could have your batch file rename it to
albumfiles.dontuse, run the project that
doesn't use it, then rename it back to
albumfiles.txt.
Woo! Hoo! Works like a dream! Thanks
If I can resolve the command line Ignore Pattern issue (posted elsewhere) I'll have the neater solution, but I LOVE workarounds like this ... a bit of lateral thinking.
Cheers,
Mark
