Batch rename files using the parent directory name

Image
After coming across suitable images, I save them immediately. However, over time, the directories and files of images sourced from the internet became extremely cluttered. I started reclassifying and organizing them, moving images with similar attributes to appropriate directories. Ultimately, while the images were neatly categorized, their arbitrary filenames were irksome. Facing this issue, I consulted Google and eventually stumbled upon an excellent solution: Batch rename files using the parent directory name. Open the Terminal app, then enter the following bash script code and press Enter to run: for dir in */; do count=1 for file in "${dir}"*; do if [[ -f "$file" ]]; then base=$(basename "$file") ext="${base##*.}" newname="${dir%/}_${count}.${ext}" mv "$file" "${dir}${newname}" ((count++)) fi done done This script will i...
