I didn't waste the whole thirteen minutes watching that video, but I did
waste several minutes trying to scan through it and find something about
changing the middle of the file name.
I could easily rename the files in the command line with something like
the below (the syntax is wrong, but the intent should be clear) using
regular expressions
for name in (20160806-LRC)000(*)
mv $name (\1)100(\2)
end
unfortunately, this would do nothing but just confuse lightroom and I'd
have to go through one by one, for 66 files.
As to the video, I absolutely hate the fact that Adobe has converted all
of their documentation to those nearly useless time wasting annoyances
that make you spend several minutes trying to find a simple piece of
information that you should be able to find by scanning a simple page of
text for five seconds.
It wouldn't be so bad if they would simply post a copy of their script.
If they wanted to be really helpful, they'd post the script with
timestamps for the start of each section. As far as I can tell there is
almost nothing in that video that I didn't already know. Sure fifteen
minutes isn't a lot of time, at least in geological terms, but I don't
have hours to go wading through all of those videos every time I have a
question, trying to find one that actually answers it.

Does Lightroom have a batch rename command like Adobe Bridge?

Lightroom is good at prepending a prefix, or appending a suffix to file
names. Is there an easy way to change the prefix of a group of files,
specifically 20160806-LRC00001 through 20160806-LRC00066 to
20160806-LRC10001 through 20160806-LRC10066 ?
