Free rename software for linux

GPRename is a GUI batch file renamer based on Gtk-Perl.

GPRename can rename files numerically, insert/delete characters at/between specified position(s), replace strings (either using regular express or not), and change case.

massrename is a general-purpose utility for batch-renaming file extensions, as well as strings within the base filename (for example, "SomeblehFile.mp3" to "SomeblahFile.mp3")
Usage: /usr/bin/massrename [ ARGUMENTS ] ...
Examples:
massrename --from mp3 --to ogg # rename *.mp3 to *.ogg
massrename -f ogg -t mp3 -n # rename *.ogg to *.mp3, no logging
Operation Modifiers:
Required arguments:
-f, --from source file extension or string to rename
-t, --to output file extension or string to rename to
Optional arguments:
-b, --beginning add a string to the beginning of the filename
-c, --change-dir DIR rename files in DIR instead of the current directory
-d, --dotfiles rename hidden files too
-e, --end add a string to the end of the filename
-h, --help display this help output and exit
-i, --ignore-case ignores filenames case when searching
for files to rename
-n, --no-logs dont make a log of renamed files
-p, --perl-rename use perls rename() function instead of the systems
"mv" command
-v, --version display version information and exit
-w, --within search for string within filename instead of extension
Enhancements:
- Minor bugfixes.
- The README file has been revised.
- An optional argument "--ignore-case" has been added, allowing massrename to ignore the case of filenames to be renamed at runtime.
- Debian and Red Hat package formats have been added.

The file renaming utilities (renameutils for short) are a set of programs designed to make renaming of files faster and less cumbersome.
The file renaming utilities consists of five programs - qmv, qcp, imv, icp and deurlname.
The qmv ("quick move") program allows file names to be edited in a text editor. The names of all files in a directory are written to a text file, which is then edited by the user. The text file is read and parsed, and the changes are applied to the files.
The qcp ("quick cp") program works like qmv, but copies files instead of moving them.
The imv ("interactive move") program, is trivial but useful when you are too lazy to type (or even complete) the name of the file to rename twice. It allows a file name to be edited in the terminal using the GNU Readline library. icp copies files.
The deurlname program removes URL encoded characters (such as %20 representing space) from file names. Some programs such as w3m tend to keep those characters encoded in saved files.
The file renaming utilities are written in C by Oskar Liljeblad, and is free software licensed under terms of the GNU General Public License.
Note that these programs come with no warranty whatsoever. They should be considered beta quality although I have carefully tested them and verified the code. This means that I can not be responsible for any data loss caused by the file renaming utilities. If you are afraid that that is going to happen, run qmv in dummy mode first (see below).
Main features:
- Added new programs, icp and qcp (suggested by Mario Vanoni).
- Quote file names and strings before printing them (like GNU coreutils).
- Make use of more gnulib modules (quotearg, yesno, version-etc).
- Fixed a serious memory management-related bug in imv causing renaming to fail for no reason.
- Fixed a potential segmentation fault when printing a particular error message.
- Added copyright and license header to source files and manual pages.
- Manual page updates:
- Added manual page for deurlname.
- Corrected grammar.
- Removed section in imv about placing it in the Midnight Commander menu.
- Gettext is now external (no intl directory).
- Use Gnulib properly (modules.gnulib and autogen.sh removed).
- Added debian package.
- Added MANIFEST.sources file.
- Fix potential bug in cross-reference solution code.
- Added documentation for qcmd --help from Stephen Kolupaev, thanks.

Mp3 renamer 2006 by MiKe is a shell script for Linux. MP3 renamer goes by the Unix name of rename-mp3. It looks at MP3 files in a Directory and, using id3v2, will rename all the mp3 files in a nice format according to the id3 tags rename-mp3 will look at both v1 and v2 id3 tags, and will make the output file in a Title-Album-Artist.mp3 format.
It saves time, and not only will it read the id3 tags, but in the event that the MP3 file has no id3 tags, you will be given 4 options
1)abort 2)skip 3)rename 4)write id3 tags, and you are asked what you would like the id3 tag artist, track name and album to be.
This is great if you want the track to be easy to view and yet you still like having a library of music that is all tagged nicely!
Enhancements:
- New stuff: The INSTALLER now works, whereas before it wouldnt copy...

MySpace Friend Renamer provides an extension that allows you to rename your MySpace Friends.

This adds a right click option to Myspace Pages and allows you to change the display name for any of your friends. Handy if your friends change names often, or pick strange and obscure names.

Also in response to comments. If a tab is not in focus when the page loads, the extension will not rename.

I believe that the extension will conflict with other extensions that change pages when they load. If I find a better way to do it, I will change it.

ckmame is a program to check ROM sets for MAME, the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.

ckmame project tells you which ROM files are missing or have a wrong checksum, and can delete unknown and unused files from the ROM sets, and rename or move ROM files.
