markw Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Lookup batch file rename on the web, there are plenty shareware utilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_harris3 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Try Irfranview. It's free as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbender Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 If you're running windows (any version), open up a dos command shell and run: rename * *.bmp (I think that's right, but can't check it now). On the off chance you're on linux, you can rename them with a script in z-shell. I've got no idea if you're on mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmck Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Following up what Chad said:<p> <p> 1. Open a DOS.box (do RUN 'command').<p> 2. Change to directory where files are: CD\thatdirectory<p> 3. Do 'ren *.* *.bmp' [no quotes]. This renames all files (*.*) to whatever they were but with a .bmp extension. Be sure there's a space between *.* and *.bmp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffrey_swenson Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 No, it goes like this; Run Rename * space *.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgo Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Make sure they are bmp files ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark-j Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Geoffrey is correct. Go to a DOS prompt if you can, change to the directory that you want to rename the files in (cd\filename) and type in RENAME *. *.bmp You want to leave a space after the period in the first command meaning you want to rename all files without file extensions to BMP files in the second part of the command. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
