Dear All, I am looking for an app that will rename alot of files at once. I downloaded krename, but cannot get it to install. It complains about not finding the qt headers but I have them installed, so I am not sure why that is not installing. Is there another app that I could use for batch file renaming that is simple with a gui? I have Suse 8.2. Thanks. Marcia

Not with a GUI, but rename is great. Just read rename(1) and it's not hard at all :) -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogical, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A. P. J.

I need to do something like this too. But I have a couple of 100 jpg files that have all difference names, all ending in .jpg, how can I rename them to for example 10.jpg, 20.jpg, 30.jpg, etc. Thanks JIM -- Jim Hatridge Linux User #88484 ------------------------------------------------------ BayerWulf Linux System # 129656 The Recycled Beowulf Project Looking for throw-away or obsolete computers and parts to recycle into a Linux super computer WartHog Bulletin Info about new German Stamps http://www.fuzzybunnymilitia.org/~hatridge/bulletin Viel Feind -- Viel Ehr' Anti-US Propaganda stamp collection http://www.fuzzybunnymilitia.org/~hatridge/collection

I'm not getting the pattern. You want all .jpg files to have their original file names wiped and replaced with a sequence of numbers which are multiples of 10? e.g.,: aaaa.jpg -> 10.jpg aaab.jpg -> 20.jpg aaba.jpg -> 30.jpg and so on? If you help me understand the pattern you're looking for, I can either give you the appropriate rename command(s) and/or adapt one of my many renaming scripts to do it for you. One warning: I haven't successfully installed Suse yet, so mine works on Mandrake 8.2. It should work though. Regards, Jim

Not a gui app but try mmv Sean

I haven't got a Suse system running yet, but I've used the command line program 'rename' with fairly good success. If you're not comfortable with Linux at the command line, I strongly recommend you explore that. At the terminal, type "man rename". Regards, Jim On Sun, 2003-11-30 at 15:12, Hans Krueger wrote:

Thanks everyone for all of your thoughts and suggestions. I finally got the krename rpm 2.8.2 as suggested above that actually installed fine. I have not used it yet, but it looks like what I have been looking for. Also, I found another app called gprename and installed that. That one looks like it could do the job as well. Thanks for the help. Sincerely, Marcia

You probably need some package-devel version (of qt). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
Why numeric. I have a DOS C program which uses the date and time to generate a name. It is from Borland C but should readily convert to gcc. CWSIV On 01 Dec 2003 11:52:56 -0800 "James D. Ivey" <jim@iveylaw.com> writes:

first of all "kiss" keep it simple <G>, the main reason I wanted it by 10s is that I can now group them easyer now by renaming single jpg files between the others.

Not a problem if you have the source then you can generate the names as you please. It would be easy to modify the code to allow UniqueName to use numeric convention with a start value and a step value. CWSIV On Wed, 3 Dec 2003 17:26:16 +0100 James Hatridge <James.Hatridge@epost.de> writes:
