   The OP can do similar with his script.   If you make a ~/bin folder and put   
   your script   
   there, you could do the same as above but use your script name instead of   
   gprename.   
      
   A more involved option is making a nemo action.  I've made a dozen or so.    
   They show up in   
   the right click menu.   
      
   Here is a link to a bunch of them.   
   https://github.com/smurphos/nemo_actions_and_cinnamon_scripts   
   The action file goes in ~/.local/share/nemo/actions   
   Scripts (if any) usually go in ~/.local/share/nemo/actions/scripts   
   I like the 'set execute' and 'touch file' and 'xed sudo-edit' actions.   
      
   There is a sample action in the smurphos download and it's rather detailed as   
   to what you   
   need to make one work.  You (the OP) seem to be good at scripting so it would   
   just be a   
   matter of putting the parts together.
