Renaming files on Tiger desktop
 |
I have had a hard time trying to change the names of my files on the Tiger desktop. Can somebody give me a tip?http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforum...on_twisted.gif
Which files? It should be very easy to rename them. Just selec the file and hit Return to change to the renaming scheme. Name as appropriate and hit Return. Done.

Note that this method requires you to know the extension at the end of the file, and also you must cd to the directory that contains the file.
mv startingfilename newfilename
