I see you've renamed your files already, but as a reference answer: `rename` from sys-apps/util-linux is ok. sys-apps/renameutils should be installed on every system, IMO, and aliased thus in your .bashrc: alias qmv="qmv -f do" alias qcp="qcp -f do" Set $EDITOR to vi, and renaming TV shows becomes quick and easy. Stroller.
