I need to create thumbnails from multiple .png files and would like to do this using ImageMagicks convert utility. To recursively find all files that are not thumbnails themselves, I am using the following call (split into two lines to make it readable):  find . -type f -name "*.png" -not -name "*thumb.png*" \   -exec convert {} -thumbnail 200x200 {}.thumb.png \;`   But this would of course create a file named a.png.thumb.png when running it on a file called a.png. How could I remove the .png extension from the second {} parameter passed to convert?

I've found various sources of info about removing these annoying things which I never use... but I haven't succeeded in getting rid of the following.    (Avira-related:) - Scan selected files with Avira  (I believe all this is M$ crapware... I presume it's all been lovingly crafted so they're all impossible to remove. You never know, though: some super-uber-uber-geek might just have found a way) - Restore previous versions  - Cut - Copy - Delete  - Rename

I have a movie named Con Man. Apparently, in Windows, you cannot have a file name with the name CON in it.  Can anyone please help me delete it?  It is stored in F:\Movies\Con Man The name of the file that I want to delete is Con.Man.2018.720p.WEBRip.x264-[YTS.AM]  I know there are a lot of similar issues but I am not able to apply them that is why posting here.  Thankyou  PS :: I am a noob!  Edit: Found this on the internet but cant work it out

I want to convert a batch of images, nearly 100, from jpg to png format. How can I do this without renaming them, but instead actually converting the format?

I am trying to batch-rename a bunch of files in my shell, and even though there is plenty of material about it on the internet, I cannot seem to find a solution for my specific case.  I have a bunch of files that have (what appears to be) a "timestamp-id":  abc_128390.png abc_138493.png abc_159084.png ...   that I'd like to exchange for a counter:  abc_001.png abc_002.png abc_003.png ...   My (plenty) naïve approach would be something like:  mv abc_*.png abc_{001..123}.png  Also, I could not figure out a way to make it work with a for-loop.  FWIW, unfortunately rename is not available on this particular system.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have a folder where my untagged music is where I want to launch a script to delete all the .png and .jpg except those beginning by the word 'cover'. Here's what I tried:  find . -name '*.jpg' -or -name '*.png' -not - -name 'cover.*'   find . (-name '*.jpg' -or -name '*.png'\) -not - -name '*.png'   And other variation of the two, none worked. (I didn't included the -delete at the end on purpose)

I've got bunch of files with ill-formed numbering:  prefix-#.ext       | for files with number 1-9 prefix-##.ext      | for files with number 10-99 prefix-###.ext     | for files with number 100-999   Due to further processing I need all of their names to be in format: prefix-###.ext. Is there any easy way to do that?

I want to include a batch file rename functionality in my application. A user can type a destination filename pattern and (after replacing some wildcards in the pattern) I need to check if it's going to be a legal filename under Windows. I've tried to use regular expression like [a-zA-Z0-9_]+ but it doesn't include many national-specific characters from various languages (e.g. umlauts and so on). What is the best way to do such a check?
