A simple script to do that, provided you have a file containing the name of the files in the order you want them, is this: #!/bin/sh # Usage: ./script <index filename> <prefix> for i in $(seq -w 1 $(sed -e '/^$/d' $1 |wc -l | sed -e 's/ *\([^ ][^ ]*\) .*/\1/')); do mv `head -$i $1 | tail -1` $2_$i.jpg done The index file should have one filename per line. This script was created in 1-2 minutes, with minimal testing. Use with care. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
