Rename All files in a directory.

[Nahuel 1]

A guy who likes to have his pictures organized asked me for something to rename all the files in a folder (since he doesn't like names like "DCIM8796.JPG"). So I made this for him. Maybe someone can also find it useful.

Use at your own risk.

I made something like for my GIMP brushes... I was sick of having all these people's weird names for the brush file names... I didn't think of using this for pictures though.. Good idea!

Is your friend not running Windows XP? Cus with XP if you just select all the files, then hit F2, it will rename them all in a very similar fashion. Cool script though, well done. I like the use of the listview to select which files to rename.

WinXP HAS THAT!?

And thanks guys, it took me quite a while to figure out how to know which ones are checked, hehe.
