Code:

find . -type f -exec printf 'mv "%s" "%s"\n' {} {} \; | vis - | sh

That's basically what my script does, but with more tests.
Basically, I run this one liner as:
Which does the same thing, but I only have to edit the new filename, not the entire mv command.

I also use bulkrename as a command in my filemanager, lf, so I visually select the files to rename and type `:bulkrename`.
