Ubuntu :: Mass Rename All Picture Extensions?

Jun 24, 2010

Linux cares about case sensitivity. This is a problem when some picture upload services accept .jpg while my camera uploaded the thousands of pictures I have as .JPG.

I can handle this task fine PER DIRECTORY. The problem is, I still have a ton of directories. Is there a way I can select - Pictures - Mass rename EVERYTHING inside and everything inside all sub directories from JPG to jpg?

Basically I want to take the existing command:

rename 's/.JPG$/.jpg/' *.JPG

a step further.

Ubuntu :: How To Recursively Move And Rename Duplicates

Feb 8, 2010

I am hoping someone already has a script or knows of an app that will let me do this fairly easily - I have a fairly large folder structure that goes several levels deep, etc. In many cases there are duplicate file names that are not really different, e.g.,
/home/chris/folder/folder1/doc1.doc
/home/chris/folder/folder2/folder3/doc1.doc

I want to recursively go through /home/chris/folder and move everything to /home/chris/another_location/ without subfolders and renaming duplicates as appropriate, e.g.,
/home/chris/another_location/doc1.doc
/home/chris/another_location/doc1_1.doc

Software :: How To Rename Files Recursively In Bash

Sep 11, 2009

I have thousands of files in hundreds of sub-directories that need renaming. The files I need to rename all look as below:
Note the .ogg.mp3.
been_all_around_this_world.ogg.mp3

I want to remove the .ogg from the files, so in this one case it would end up renamed looking like this:
been_all_around_this_world.mp3

General :: Script To Rename Files Recursively?

May 8, 2011

I'm planning to writing a script to rename files recursively.

To be said that I'm using /bin/sh (not /bin/bash) as this is the only shell available on the busybox of the linux router (tomato) I'm using.

Basically I would like to rename files with extension .jpg using as a suffix the filename of another file in the very same directory with extension .avi

The reason for this is because pretty much all the DLNA devices like modern TV playing .avi files will display a thumbnail of the video when browsing the filesystem, however to do so they'll need .jpg image wit hthe same filename of the video in the very same directory.

General :: Script To Mass Rename Files Recursively?

Sep 9, 2009

I need a either a script or perl script that will allow me to mass rename files, folders, and sub folders. I need to replace special chars in the current file names with underscores. I was able to make this happen in a single directory, but not recursively.

Here is what does it in a single directory.

for file in *
do
mv "$file" $(echo "$file" | sed 's/[^A-Za-z0-9_.]/_/g')
done

Programming :: Rename Files Recursively, Only Keeping Last X Digits Plus Extension?

Nov 29, 2009

My problem is this:I have a number of directories, all containing files of different name lenghts, including letters, numbers and possibly spaces. I want to recursively rename all of these files, so that only the _last_ 5 digits (not counting the extension) remain. In other words: I want to cut off all but the last 5 digits and not touch the extension.

I've tried to read up on tr, rename (perl version), sed, cut etc. and browsed through some threads here, but so far couldn't quite figure out how to do it.

If someone could point me to the right (standard) CLI tools and syntax.

I have a bunch of files on a Ubuntu box, which have various characters in their filenames that Windows doesn't accept (mostly ":" and "*", but possibly others).What's the simplest way to get these all renamed and moved to a Windows machine? It's OK to replace these characters with something like "[colon]" and "[asterisk]".

General :: Copy Certain File Types Recursively While Maintaining File Structure On Destination?

Jun 14, 2011

I have just been bothered by a fairly small issue for some time now. I am trying to search (using find -name) for some .jpg files recursively. This is a Redhat environment with bash.

I get this job done though I need to copy ALL of them and put them in a separate folder BUT I also need to keep the order intact after copying.

For e.g - If I get a JPG file under /home/usr/new/1/ then the destination also needs to be /test/old/new/1/.

At the moment, I am simply putting all files under /test/old/ and I can't somehow get the later /new/1/ folder path created under /test/old/

I understand this could well be done using while OR if else loop, though if someone can just guide me with a hint, I would be really grateful.

I will complete the rest of the steps and was asking here since I am still not comfortable with the shell/bash scripts yet and planning to be really good at it over the next couple of months.

Ubuntu :: Using Sed To Change Certain File Extensions?

Jun 2, 2010

I have about a hundred and fifty html files that I would like to change image file extension on from gif to png. I want to change this line:

<img src="images/robopix/web/ROBOTNAME.gif" border="0">

to this:

<img src="images/robopix/web/ROBOTNAME.png" border="0">

Trouble is that ROBOTNAME is different in each of the hundred and fifty files. To make it harder, there are other gif filenames on these pages that I do not want to change. I only want the extensions to change if the address prefix is 'images/robopix/web/'. Is there any way to do this with a quick program/sed command rather than manually editing a hundred and fifty files?

Ubuntu :: Search For Multiple File Extensions At Once In Gnome

Jan 1, 2010

Does anyone know of a way to perform a search for multiple file extensions at once in Gnome? I know that M$ Windows Explorer had this capability, but I'm just not sure how to do it in Gnome, or if it's possible. I just want to be able to perform searches for Video, Music, and Document file types, without having to perform a separate search for each file extension. Example: When doing a search for Video file types (.avi,.mp4,.mov,.wma, etc.), I would like to do one search for all files that have these file extensions, instead of doing one search for .avi files, a second search for .mp4 files, another for .mov files, etc.

Ubuntu :: RDP Extensions And Plain Text File Types

Jul 15, 2010

Basically, I have a selection of .rdp shortcuts to various machines, but they are considered the file type "plain text document (text/plain)" so if I change it to open with to tsclient, all of that file type opens with tsclient. And if I change it to gedit, all the rdp files open with gedit. Is there a way to create a custom file type dependent on the extension rdp, or is there a way to set tsclient to open by extension rather than filetype?

General :: File Name Extensions With VIM (VI Improved)?

Feb 11, 2010

GNU/Linux kernel 2.6, Slackware. VIM - Vi IMproved 7.1 Huge version without GUI. When I quit an editing sesion vim creates a backup file with the same name as that of the edited file but with a '~' appended. I would like the name for the backup file to be the following: same base name as that of the edited file and edited file extension replaced by 'bak'. Example:

Input file//////////////backup file after editing
----------//////////////-------------------------
foo.txt/////////////////foo.txt~
foo.txt/////////////////foo.bak

The first line corresponds to what vim now does. The second one is what I want vim to do.

Ubuntu :: Cli Comparing File Names Recursively?

Apr 24, 2011

I would like to use the command line to compare two directories against each other. I have two folders called music collection that have evolved over the last year on two separate computers. 90% of the two folders are the same, but there are small differences. I would like a solution that will print out all the differences so I can analyze them and choose what I want to do with them, before merging the two folders. for example.I would like some kind of output that shows the differences and where its located.

comparing MusicCollection1 and MusicCollection2
dif1.mp3 located in MC1/folder1 (this one I might want to keep and merge over)
dif2.mp3 located in MC2/folder3 (while this one I might realize does not exist in both folders because I deleted it for a reason)

I've looked at sort, uniq, and even tried scripting my own solution, but haven't come up with an elegant solution thus far. Its important that it is recursive because there are about 15 folders in Music collection and more folders under those 15.

Debian :: Set Default Application For Specific File Extensions

Dec 17, 2015

How to properly set some entries in:

$HOME/.config/mimeapps.list

so that:
*.odb files are opened by default with libreoffice base
*.org files (just org files not plain text files) are opened by default with emacs

For some reason I can not figure out how to proceed.

As far as I know - i.e. for what I have been reading in the documentation - the default application for a given MIME-type is specified by writing into the group [Default Applications] in the mimeapps.list file

My configuration is the following:

- 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u6 (2015-11-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux

General :: Recursively Mount File Shares?

Oct 18, 2010

I have a Linux machine that shares some files through NFS. The shared directory is:

/foo

I then mounted a shared directory (from a Windows machine) to:

/foo/bar

/foo/bar is mounted successfully onto the Linux machine and everything is there. However any other machine that mounts /foo from the Linux machine everything is correctly there except /foo/bar is empty. Is there anyway to do a "recursive mount" of file shares. Here is the /etc/fstab entry for the Windows share mount of /foo/bar //windows_machine/share /foo/bar cifs username=user,password=pass 0 0 And the /etc/fstab entry on the client machines that mount /foo server:/foo /foo nfs rw 0 0
