   That is true, but I made this because using gprename can be a *bit*   
   troublesome if you have to navigate to deeply nested sub-folders.   
   If gprename let you "copy & paste" a destination URL then I would not   
   have made this script.   
      
   As it was I had 6 folders that contained files that needed to be bulk   
   re-named, but since each folder was in a different location navigating   
   to each folder was a small hassle.   
      
   This simple script lets me do bulk re-naming much faster because I can   
   drag and drop the bash file into a folder and run it.   
      
   what i would like to do is find a way to make this script open in the   
   current folder just by clicking a link, but i doubt that Linux has an   
   option that permits that function.   
      
   or is there a way to make gprename open in the current folder?
