One of the ways I quickly rename files in Windows is   F2 &gt; Rename &gt; Tab (to next file) &gt; Rename ...   But in Ubuntu/Nautilus, I can't tab to next file. But being on Linux, I think there must be a command line alternative.  However, sometimes, I may want more control over how to rename specific files. In that case, perhaps its better to be able to tab to the next file

I would like to know how could I move all files from a folder to another folder with a command line.  Let's say I'm in my Downloads folder and there are a 100 files that I would like to move to my Videos folder, without having to write all the files name.

I know that hardly any information is passed to the PDF when a .tex file is compiled.  But is there a tool that can convert a PDF document back to (La)TeX?

The closest I've gotten is   # rm /path/to/directory/*.*   but that doesn't work for files that don't have an extension...

I have a directory that contains the following:  x.pdf y.zip z.mp3 a.pdf   I want to delete all files apart from x.pdf and a.pdf. How do I do this from the terminal? There are no subdirectories so no need for any recursion.

I have a TeX document that is embedding a huge amount of figures from a fig folder that is full of another humongous amount of other figures.  I would like to move the document along with its figures, but I don't want to take the whole fig folder, just the figures in there that are embedded by the document.  Is there a package (or any other way) that allows me to, for example, print out the filenames of all the figures embedded by the document? Something like:  fig/figurename1.eps fig/figurename2.eps ... etc   I could then just copy-paste that list and add some cp's in a plain text file and automate the copy of those files to my desired location by running the file in my shell:  $ cp fig/figurename1.eps wherever/fig/ $ cp fig/figurename2.eps wherever/fig/ ... etc   Of course this is just an idea, if somebody has an alternative to the "file listing and copy-pasting in a shell file" I would be happy to listen =)

How to recursively rename all the files in several layers of subdirectories without changing their extensions?  Below's a toned down version (to save room) of what I've got.  For argument's sake, I want all the files to have the same title, yet retain their original extension. There's never more than a single file per directory, so there's no chance of doubling up.  For simplicity, we'll just call them all foo, followed by their current extension.    So just to clarify: Asset\ 1.pdf, Asset\ 1.png, Asset\ 1@4x.png, Asset\ 1.svg Will become: foo.pdf, foo.png, foo.png, foo.svg And so on in that fashion.    I would typically use parameter expansion and a for loop, like:    for f in */*; do mv "$f" "${f%/*}/foo.${f##*.}"; done     But it's not recursive. So I would prefer to use something with find..-exec or similar.    ~/Desktop/Project/Graphics/ ├── Huge │   ├── PDF │   │   └── Asset\ 1.pdf │   ├── PNG │   │   ├── 1x │   │   │   └── Asset\ 1.png │   │   └── 4x │   │       └── Asset\ 1@4x.png │   └── SVG │       └── Asset\ 1.svg ├── Large │   ├── PDF │   │   └── ProjectAsset\ 2.pdf │   ├── PNG │   │   ├── 1x │   │   │   └── ProjectAsset\ 2.png │   │   └── 4x │   │       └── ProjectAsset\ 2@4x.png │   └── SVG │       └── ProjectAsset\ 2.svg ├── Medium │   ├── PDF │   │   └── ProjectAsset\ 3.pdf │   ├── PNG │   │   ├── 1x │   │   │   └── ProjectAsset\ 3.png │   │   └── 4x │   │       └── ProjectAsset\ 3@4x.png │   └── SVG │       └── ProjectAsset\ 3.svg ├── Small │   ├── PDF │   │   └── ProjectAsset\ 4.pdf │   ├── PNG │   │   ├── 1x │   │   │   └── ProjectAsset\ 4.png │   │   └── 4x │   │       └── ProjectAsset\ 4@4x.png │   └── SVG │       └── ProjectAsset\ 4.svg └── Tiny     ├── PDF     │   └── Asset\ 5.pdf     ├── PNG     │   ├── 1x     │   │   └── Asset\ 5.png     │   └── 4x     │       └── Asset\ 5@4x.png     └── SVG         └── Asset\ 5.svg  30 directories, 20 files

Have got about 500 PDFs to go through and extract the first page of.  They then need to go through some time consuming conversion process so was hoping to try and save some time by have a batch process to extract just the first page from the 500 pdfs and place it in a new pdf.  Have had a poke around Acrobat but can find no real method of doing this for multiple files.  Does anyone know any other programs or methods that this could be achieved?  Free and open source are obviously more favourable :)  EDIT:  Have actually had some success using GhostScript to extract just one page.  Am now looking at how to batch that and take the list of files and use those.

Is there a way to zip all files in a given directory with the zip command? I've heard of using *.*, but I want it to work for extensionless files, too.

I have 3 folders:  Folder 1  Folder 2 Folder 3   In each folder I have 5 pdf files:      Folder 1         file1.pdf        file2.pdf     Folder 2        file1.pdf        file2.pdf     Folder 3        file1.pdf        file2.pdf   I want that in each folder to have a combined file of those two files:      Folder 1         binder.pdf     Folder 2        binder.pdf     Folder 3        binder.pdf   Any idea? Don't tell to do it manually. This case is just to explain you my problem. Think that I have hundreds of folders. :) Maybe I can use another tool instead of Adobe Acrobat?!
