batch rename photos

[henry cow]

This is a more general question but I will ask it here. As a long-time Windows user, I have trouble zeroing in on many of the most basic tasks in Ubuntu.

I have several dozen photos from my camera that I would like to rename in batches such as tulips01.jpg, tulips02.jpg, etc.

In Windows I could highlight them and right-click to "rename" to do the lot.

I understand that "renaming" is now changing a "property" but I cannot find the simple way to do an entire lot at a time.

No doubt it is in there, somebody please point me in the right direction.

thanks

There are many ways to do what you want. Probably the simplest is to use gprename. It can be installed with synaptic.

Thank you!

I downloaded it, and installed it. Now how do I make it "work" or "run"

I can't find it anywhere in the menus.

I don't currently have gprename installed and can't say where it is in the menu's. Perhaps another forum member will have this information.

In the meantime, I believe the command name is gprename. So, you can create a panel or desktop launcher or simply enter gprename in a terminal window.

I know its been long but try phatch in the repos. Did an excellent job for me today.

It's in Accessories.
