changing file extension
Hello, everyone! :]
I'm having an issue with my camera/uploading to Photobucket.
When my camera transfers it's photos to my hard drive, it transfers them as .JPG. Unfortunately, when I go to upload to my Photobucket account, it only accepts .jpg & .jpeg files. Every time I want to upload, I have to go through the swath and rename them as .jpg files. This is terribly inconvenient and time consuming, and I was wondering if anyone has heard of a program, or has a terminal command that would change them automatically.
Alternatively, if someone knows how to add .JPG to my list of used picture formats alongside .jpg & .jpeg, that would be just as usefull, if not more usefull.
Note: I run Ubuntu 8.04 and I don't use F-spot, as that program is garbage.
Thanks in advance! - Spidydude

Using Lynx, when I try to download a .rar, it confirms I want to download and its got it as an appication/rar file.
However, split archives that end in .r## (.r00, .r01 ...) are not recognized as an appication/rar file and it reads the file like a .txt or .html.
How can I fix this?
Thanks! (2 Replies)
