You could try mmv (package mmv): mmv - Move/Copy/Append/Link multiple files the syntax here would be mmv '*.JPG' '#1.jpg' It's neat, it can handle multiple regexes as a name and do operations such as changing the case of matched parts and such. The other commands provided by the package are called mcp, mln and so forth.
