Hi,
I have a CD with pictures that I burned using windows quite a while ago. The pictures are named
Picture (1).jpg
Picture (2).jpg
Picture (3).jpg
and so on. However none of the filenames have a leading zero, so Konqueror sorts them differently. It is really hard to find the right pictures. Is there a way to rename these pictures (using an image viewer or script) or to sort them differently?
Also, are there any good image viewers? The build in Koqueror viewerr is not sufficient for me. But something like the Windows "Picture and Fax Viewer" would be good. I use KDE 3.5 on Debian.
Thanks for your help!

For renaming pictures I like a program called xnview:
http://www.xnview.com/

You can also make a lot of other changes to the pictures with it.

I'm not certain that I understand what you're trying to
say about the sort order, or what exactly your problem
is with it...

As for the "other tool" I'd recommend having a look at
gqview and endeavour 2; both very nice FOSS tools.

Thanks for your replies.

XnViewer seem to be a good program and support numeric sorting.

My problem is that Konqueror does not sort the pictures properly. It gives me
Picture 1
Picture 10
Picture 100
Picture 101
Picture 102
...

rather than

Picture 1
Picture 2
Picture 3
Picture 4
Picture 5
...

So, either I get Konqueror to sort it properly or I need to rename every file so that it has zeros in front.Like:
Picture 001
Picture 002
Picture 003
...
Picture 010
Picture 111
Picture 112
This would be sorted properly, right?

So, since I have a lot of pictures, I thought there might be a picture viewer or rename utility to help me out.
Do you know what I mean?

I think the easiest way was to rename all files so they all have zeroes in front. I used a small bash script.
thanks, for your help.

Sorry - I assumed that renaming was no option, and I knew no
other viewers that would have supported what you want.

As for the renaming, the command rename would have been
what you wanted.

Something like:
rename picture picture0 picture?.jpg
rename picture picture0 picture??.jpg
would have handled any number between 1 and 999
