Python - Rename files in batch
I have a directory which contains a lot of photos. But, for some reasons, the files's names do not have file extension. Something like:
myphotos/
-------------photo1
-------------photo2
-------------photo3
...
-------------photo70
Because of that, I cannot upload those photos to facebook. The file-chooser window does not recognize them as images. So, I have to add .JPEG extension for all photos. Python helps me this time (and so many other times). Run this python script inside the myphotos directory;
#! /usr/bin/python
from os import listdir, rename
from os.path import isfile, join
def get_files_list(path):
return [ f for f in listdir(path) if (isfile(join(path,f)))]
def add_ext_batch(files_list):
for fn in files_list:
tem_fn = fn + '.JPEG'
rename(fn, tem_fn)
if __name__=="__main__":
file_list = get_files_list('.')
add_ext_batch(file_list)
myphotos/
-------------photo1
-------------photo2
-------------photo3
...
-------------photo70
