Randomize filenames
This is a simple bash script to create random filenames of all jpg-files (*.jpg) in a folder using the linux commands mv, sha1sum and cut.
#!/bin/bash # Randomize filenames for fname in *.jpg; do mv "$fname" $(echo "$fname" | \ sha1sum | \ cut -f1 -d ' ' | \ cut -b 1-5).jpg done
The jpg-files can have names like
08df4.jpg 1e788.jpg 315e6.jpg 41e19.jpg 5f7d0.jpg 7471e.jpg
