Topic: tiny batch renaming app for those that know python

I've just written about this on my blog, so go there for more details i guess. I thought crunchbang users might like it.

It's designed to be used from the right-click menu in thunar or nautilus, and gives you a python for loop that iterates over the files you passed to the script. I find it a lot quicker than gui renaming, or bash, or regex. You just use python string methods on the available variables (filename, basename, extention etc).

Here's the script
