So I've been using OSX but have been using Ubuntu on my mac desktop for a good 2 weeks. I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion for an alternative program for bulk file/folder renaming?

I'm currently using this program (A Better Finder Rename) and I can rename files like this way

parent1
  -- sub1
    -- parent1-sub1-my-file-here0001.jpg
    -- parent1-sub1-my-file-here0002.jpg

or do find and replace text like replace all instances of "image" with "IMAGE" or change the file extension to something.

I've read old discussions on this topic but the suggestions made are really quite basic compared to what I'm used to.

I've thought of scripting some of the more easier bits like creating a sequence for the files but honestly, I prefer to use a GUI for things like this.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

edit: the topic that's supposedly the "original" of this one is date 2010. A lot of new tools could've come out since then.

May be best I don't know but I always prefer terminal for that.

As you specified GUI I refer to use KRENAME. It renames all types of files and especially Track, year,genre,... can be easily edited for music and Exif for images.
