Sorry for replying out of order, I only just subscribed.
I find "gthumb"[1] -- a GNOME image viewer -- to be quite good, and it
does include a batch renamer.
You could also use shell command to rename the files. For instance:
$ for f in *.jpg; do mv $f vacation${f#xyz}; done
would rename xyz*.jpg to vacation*.jpg.
see the "Parameter Expansion" section of the bash(1) manual page for
more information.
There is also a utility called "mmv"[2] which might be of interest.
I hope this helps.
