The next portion of the line removes the JPG extension from the end and adds the jpg extention to each file. The '$i' is a string containing the name of the file that matches. The second line uses basename (type man basename for more details) with the '$i' argument. The first line says find everything with the “.JPG” extension (capitals only, because the UNIX system is case sensitive). Unfortunately I do not know the author's name. Note that the above script came from a usenet post. One way to this is shown below: for i in *.JPG Scripts are useful if you don't have mmv or rename.

As far as I can tell, that would be the way to go for the Windows tool mentioned in the question either, as its behavior is similar.) (I find this annoying, and prefer to put all files that need renaming in a separate folder, and then select the "Picker" tab. But by default all files and folders (of the selected path) are selected and, if you do not want to rename them all, you have to un-select them all by clicking "none" and then select them one by one with single-left-click.

The tool can be started separately though, and can even be integrated as a custom menu action in other files managers like Dolphin and Nautilus.Įxample for Dolphin: create the file ~/.local/share/kservices5/sktop with these lines: It cannot be installed separately from Thunar but the latter brings very few specific dependencies and can be installed easily. If you prefer to use a different file manager, you may still use this tool. ![]() Some details also here (mentioning other tools too).
