Changing file extension
Hello all,
I need to change file extension for all .doc files to .txt file in multiple folders. I know the way to rename them by going to each folder and doing that, but I need something which I can run from home directory so that It does the renaming in all the nested directories.
Thanks.

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)

THUNAR(1) THUNAR(1)
NAME
Thunar - File Manager for the Xfce Desktop Environment
SYNOPSIS
Thunar [options] [[URI]...]
Thunar [options] --bulk-rename [[URI]...]
Thunar [options] --quit
DESCRIPTION
Thunar is a fast and easy to use file manager for the Xfce Desktop Environment. It has been designed from the ground up to be lighweight
with special focus on usability. Its user interface is clean and intuitive, and does not include any confusing or useless options.
INVOCATION
Thunar takes a list of URIs for folders that should be opened in new file manager windows or files that should be run using the default
application for their types. The URIs may be specified as either file: or trash: URIs, absolute paths or paths relative to the current
directory from which Thunar is being invoked. If no URIs are specified, the current folder will be opened in a new file manager window.
When the --bulk-rename option is specified no file managers windows will be opened, but instead the URIs will be passed to the bulk
renamer. The bulk renamer allows to rename several files or folders at once using different renamer modules.
Options
-?, --help
Print brief help and exit.
-v, --version
Print version information and exit.
-B, --bulk-rename
Open the URIs in a standalone window of the bulk renamer.
--daemon
Do not terminate the Thunar instance when the last window is closed, but keep it running to speed up opening new windows later on. This
is the default when spawning Thunar as part of the default Xfce session or when using D-Bus activation.
--display=DISPLAY
Use the specified X DISPLAY for the user interface.
-q, --quit
Terminate any Thunar instance running in the background (spawned using the --daemon option). This command should be used whenever
Thunar is upgraded to a new version to ensure that no old instance is reused.
