[...]I am looking for a method to drag and move file1.jpg to the bottom of the list and then to rename them based on a file pattern to get001_file2.jpg 002_file3.jpg 003_file1.jpg Only that I do not have only three files, a few hundred of them.
Use drag and drop to move the files into another directory, the execute a script like this in that directory:
-------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
count=0
ls -U file*.jpg | while read filename
do
count=$(( $count+1 ))
fcount=`printf "%03d" $count`
echo mv $filename ${fcount}_$filename
done
-------------------------------
If you want to use this script, you should test it with the "echo" still
in there. Then you can get rid of the "echo" when you're sure the script
works correctly.
I hope this helps.
