#this is what i am trying in c right now, but i think some of you guys can solve this with a small shell script
 
#i got the following folder structure:
 
#reaction pics
#-laughing
#->12321.jpg
#->321312.jpg
#-wat
#->4123.png
#->2.gif
#-smug faces
#->21321.bmp
#->123.jpg
 
#you get the picture, there is a folder for each group of reaction faces. what i want to do is to go though the folder structure #recusively and name the pictures in the folders like this:
#laughing_1.jpg, laughing_2.png and so on, you get the name from the folder name above the picture..
 
#this way you have representative names for the pictures and you dont need the folders anymore
 
 
 
 
#THIS SCRIPT WILL ONLY WORK CORRECTLY IF PLACED INTO THE DIRECTORY YOU WANT SORTED ('reaction pics' in the spec)
#FIRST RUN WILL SPIT OUT ALL THE FILE RENAMES THAT WOULD BE MADE IF THE 'MV' LINE WERE UNCOMMENTED
