This is cool :thumbsup

SSH is far too complicated to batch rename a lot of images in different directories.

If you're on the bash command-line of your linux/bsd/unix host (which you probably are), do this:

Code:

$ cd /the/directory/where/my/files/are



$ for i in *     [hit enter]

do               [hit enter]

mv $i prefix$i   [hit enter]

done             [hit enter]
