[kwlug-disc] bulk renaming with regex

[Bob Jonkman]

If you want to bulk-rename files in a GUI, the filemanager 'caja' in the 
MATE desktop has an extension, 'caja-rename' that you can activate in 
the Preferences menu. It adds a second "Rename" option to the 
right-click menu when multiple files are selected.

I'll bet other GUI filemanagers have similar extensions.
