Hi Gary,
	IIRC you're using openSUSE. Have you tried using Thunar file
	manager to barch rename? It's usually included with XFCE
	desktop and it supports batch renaming, this page
<http://helpdeskgeek.com/linux-tips/batch-rename-files-in-linux-with-thunar/>
says it can change only the extentions. That page is geared towards
Debian/Ubuntu, but I'm sure you can fire up Yast and find Thunar and
the batch plugin. I also found Krusader
<http://www.susegeek.com/general/krusader-advanced-twinpanel-file-manager-in-opensuse/>
that also supports batch file renaming.  Again, I don't know about the
extentions. I have not used either program to do what you're trying to
do. Good luck.
