I found this tool a while ago when looking for a way to batch rename some files.

I've previously used Perl rename[1], but as it has no safeguards, I find rnr much more pleasant to use.

There are a lot of tools dedicated to this. My past favorite is vimv [1].

However, for me this operation is so rare that having a separate command just for mass-renaming files does not seem to be justified.
