Renaming multiple files to have .jpg extension

[R063R]

Hi all.

Moved HUNDREDS of images off a HDD on to my PC here and have all appeared as 'File' in the Type column, as opposed to 'JPG File'. I can rename them all individually to have the .jpg extension but am just wondering is there a way to give them all the extension in one swoop.

Have tried a few different methods but all I seem to acheive is the likes of renaming

ABC
DEF
HIJ

into

ABC
ABC (1)
ABC (2)

when I want to be able to acheive

ABC.jpg
DEF.jpg
HIJ.jpg

there are programs out there like extension changer, obviously for the extensions. ( i have it and works well)
Renaming exists too but can't remember the name, probably something obviously named too.

Just be sure to download it from a safe site and not some random one.

Give ALSee a try. It's a batch image converter and I'm sure you'll be able to batch rename(been so long since I've used it).

If you just have to add the extensions this may do it.

My favorite file renaming tool for windows is ReNamer. It's free and very simple to use.

If you have Cygwin simply type:

for f in *; do mv $f $f.jpg; done

That ReNamer looks pretty slick, though.

It's fairly easy to do in Windows 7, not sure about other OS's.

Go to the folder containing the files you want to rename (it will rename all files in that folder, so make sure you only have the ones in it that you want renamed)

Click SHIFT and RIGHT CLICK, choose "Open Command Window Herer"

You will see the path to your folder and flashing command prompt, at the prompt type "ren *(current ext) *(new ext)" hit enter and all file will have the new extension.

Example to change .file to .jpg Type "ren *.file *.jpg" (without quotes), hit enter.
