Need to rename a lot of JPG files at once

[bchamorro]

How can I do this? I haven't found a way yet. Do I need a special application?

Best tool for mass-renaming of files I've found is Name Mangler.

Try this, unless you have some pro apps with batch renaming included as a feature:

I use FileWrangler. It may be old (2005), but it still works well in Leopard.

I had saved but haven't tried it yet.

Use Automator.
It's already on your Mac and is easy to set up for your purpose.

Open it and look in the Finder area for "rename objects" (or similar, I'm in a German Leopard system).

note: the last remark might be misleading - although being in Germany, I don't sit in any kind of amoured vehicle
