Improved Version ....

#       Just a small script to rename files and folders in nautilus recursively
#       Tested under Ubuntu 8.04, should work fine with other Linux dist ...

    #For example, newname = oldname.lower()

how about extending the argument list to include a dispatch function for renaming convention like: def ren_func(name): # do more advanced string manipulations return new_filename

def ren(path, ren_func): oldname = os.path.split(path)[1] newname = ren_func(oldname) #Change this line for your preferred filename ...

might be to overkill for many applications, but could be good for when more complex renaming manipulations need to be used (only certain filenames etc)

(edit: forgot to mark syntax) how about extending the argument list to include a dispatch function for renaming convention like: <pre><code> def ren_func(name): # do more advanced string manipulations return new_filename

def ren(path, ren_func): oldname = os.path.split(path)[1] newname = ren_func(oldname) #Change this line for your preferred filename ... </code></pre> might be to overkill for many applications, but could be good for when more complex renaming manipulations need to be used (only certain filenames etc)

i give up

sorry for trashing the comment section :/ but hopefully now the syntax will work

def ren_func(name): 
    # do more advanced string manipulations 
    return new_filename

def ren(path, ren_func): 
    oldname = os.path.split(path)[1] 
    newname = ren_func(oldname) #Change this line for your preferred filename ...
