Glad rename works for you, my rename (version 2.19.1) dosn't support the -v option. For others in this boat the following ksh/bash script should work:

Code:
find . \( -iname '*.jpg' -o -iname '*.jpeg' \) -type f -print | while read file
do
   NF=${file#./}
   NF=${NF//\//_}
   [ "$file" = "$NF" ] || mv $file ./$NF
done

Wonder if your going to want something that removes empty directories next Smilie
