> Can anybody recommend any good batch-renaming packages?
The most flexible tool to do this on Linux is your shell.
What you need:
* A tool to extract the information you want to use for renaming.
To use EXIF data, maybe use [1], but there are many tools
available.
* Basic shell understanding.
The first part is quite easy and specializes your capabilities for
this very task. The second is a little more effort, but will benefit
you a lifetime.
Everyone should know how to use this ultra-flexible framework known as
Unix/Linux shell, instead of just jumping at partial solutions for
very specific problems just because they have a GUI. GUI tools make
one specific task very easy, but make everything impossible the
authors have not thought of.
