That's what I ended up doing, a job for a very rainy today.
I did it with 'rename', which is fairly powerful,
but dangerous if you don't concentrate, as it will overwrite files.
I've sent bugs to KDE in the past with no result,
so I probably won't bother this time
& anyway it doesn't solve the immediate problem, which I've fixed otherwise.
