(i.e. > change to the file extension to lowercase while retaining the file > name) Not exactly the answer I know, but consider variations on this: find . -type f | while read f do nf=$(echo $f | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]') mv $f $nf done to muck around with the bit JPG only, a variation of the above usng sed will do nicely. You could also make them all .jpeg. To impress/confound folk at the local LUG you can mung names by ROT13- encoding the names. Repeating the transformation undoes the "damage." -- John <debian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
