And don't forget simple things like converting all files in a directory to 
uppercase/lowercase or strip off some prefix/suffix. I for instance wouldn't 
know out of my head how to do that (mc would help me here but I prefer using 
konq) and reading docs like mad just to come up with your own script is not 
what desktop users want (and sometimes it just HAS to be fast).

I'm all for adding krename, it surely needs a better UI (I prefer wizards for 
"first time" things, later they just annoy you) but that's nothing you cannot 
fix :)

Bye, Stefan aka mETz
