CMD Rename

[Hencore]

I'm trying to rename a group of jpgs in one go.

I can do

rename *.jpg newname.jpg

which is fine but it only renames files in the current directory. I need it to go and run through all the sub folders.

Any help?

You can't. That way you would need to go through every folder individually.

You can do this instead...

XCOPY C:\ImageFolder\old.jpg C:\NewImageFolder\newname.jpg /S

I'm a little confused as to your use though -

if you did

rename *.jpg newname.jpg

and you had 3 jpg's in your folder you would encounter a duplication error.

If you want to do batch renaming, try IrfanView - does the trick for me.

SET location=c:\jpegs\

for /f %%A IN ('dir %location% /b /a-d') DO (
  CD /D %location%
  REN %%A %%~nA_NEW.jpg
)

Theres freeware called "TheRename" which did the trick for me.
