These are digital camera pix , the product of an event to which I would
like to add a replacement prefix for "dsci" to reflect the nature of the
event and a date, so in this case I might choose something lile
"bankholiday240803<followed by 0001.jpg> etc.


Can someone suggest a script to do this for me so I don't have to
manually retype the file name in properties for each file. It would be
nice if I could run the script and it asked me for a syntax , which
would be different in each event , and then added it in place of the bit
of syntax to be removed.
I think it might be nice if I could just copy the bash script file to
the source directory and run it from there, dunno though .


Possible ?

Also out of pure curiosity why does the file names all end in " * " ?

John
