Rename multiple files at once

[Me - Atlantic]

Setup a script file in your favorite script lang...
set a variable for a unique prefix or suffix or other identifier
set a variable for the source dir of the images
set a variable for the target dir of the images
set a variable for each of the image types you want
then do --
for word in `ls $src/*.$imgtyp
do
zip $word && mv $word $dest/$newname (or bzip or gzip)
done
exit 0;
