Hi,

I have a group of photos and I wanted to rename them all

I tried it in Terminal with mv <original filename> <new filename>, it is renaming a single file.

How do I rename a batch of files like we use to do it in DOS as below
ren abc*.JPG xyz*.JPG

Thanks in advance,
 
Do a spotlight search for "finder scripts" and run the installer. Then you'll get a bunch of super powerful renaming scripts in your menu bar. Trust me, it's awesome.
