          Eh you rapidly need to know regular expressions to accomplish bulk renaming in the terminal, where some GUI tools like Bulky are a little more powerful for people without chronic eye fatigue.

            Yeah I have no idea how to do that too. But I would find it soo nice if Distros would ship bash scripts for all that.

            With some help on how to do it and actually helpful tldr. btw:

      You should try the ranger file manager, thanks to that I almost don’t use GUI file managers unless I have a headache

        I have heard of it, but never got around to it. I suppose if I get tired of grep and find and shell scripts I’ll probably head that way myself. Thanks
