Before I start, take a look at this interesting review of GIMP versus Photoshop. As GIMP is free, and Photoshop is $650, if you ever need to edit an image, you should have GIMP. It's available for Windows and MacOS too. Check this out too.

Ok, here's my latest concoction.. Call it transrename.

---

1. !/usr/bin/perl -w

if(! @ARGV > 2)

       {die "Usage: transrename pattern files...\n";}

my @argvc = @ARGV; # Some platforms can't shift @ARGV my $code = shift(@argvc); print "\n"; foreach (@argvc)

       {
       my $old = $_;
       eval $code;
       print " $old => $_\n";
       if($old ne $_)
               {
               system("/bin/mv", '-i', $old,  $_);
               }
       }

It's just a short script to rename things. I wrote it for something at work, but it's also useful for home purposes -- when handling people who use other standards for naming music files than I do, I typically invoke it as such: transrename 's/ - /-/g;tr/A-Z/a-z/;s/ /_/;'

In other technology uses, the possibilities in this are astounding.

I'll be putting up some new pictures in my gallery soon.

Finally,

Back to work!
