Hey all. Just moved my OH over to a new phone and sd card. Moved the photos over that can be seen in the file system but only ones with an 'IMG_' prefix will show via the camera app. Anyway to add the 'IMG_' prefix to multiple files in W10 all at once rather than one by one? Cheers
Go into Windows Subsystem for Linux, find the files, and type: for i in *jpg; do mv $i IMG_$i; done Use xargs if you want to speed things up. If you'd rather use command.com (or cmd.exe, whatever): for %a in (*.jpg) do ren "%a" "IMG_%a" If you're a PowerSheller: dir *.jpg | Rename-Item -NewName {"IMG_" + $_.Name} EDIT: Oh, but be aware that it'll happily work multiple times - so if you've files in there that already start with IMG_, they'll become IMG_IMG_. Could add a filter to remove any files starting IMG_ already; could just move 'em into a "done" folder first then move 'em back again afterwards.
Cheers all, i'll give them a go later. Glad I asked, been fruitlessly googling like my gran this morning.
Had a spare 5 minutes and that worked a treat, thanks! Not sure how i've missed this handy program over all these years.
