[Solved] How to create a rename user command

The manual is very skimpy on information about how the 'rename' user command works. I would like to create a user command that changes the extension of files.
I regularly get files of type *.png, *.gif, *.bmp, *.jpeg, *.jpg. I would like to rename just the *.jpeg files to *.jpg.
Do I just need to set 'jpeg' in the pattern box and choose 'It's a Set Extension pattern. No preview.'?
Or maybe *.jpeg? Something else?

"Set Extension" mode can't filter the selection. IE, it will replace all selected file extensions to jpg, regardless of whether they're jpeg or not.
You're not out of options, though. Add a new rename user command set up like this:
Code: Select all
CAPTION : JPEG -> JPG
PATTERN : (.*)\.jpeg$ > $1.jpg
TYPE : It's a Regular Expression. Show preview.

Sorry for being ignorant and naive, but I must know, is, "iycgtptyarvg" actually something that can be pronounced in some other language, or is it an acronym? Or just a random string of letters?

It was my very first password when I went to university (in the '90s).
It means: "If You Can Guess This Password Then You Are Really Very Good".
Aaaaaaaaaah, the time that even passwords like "1234" were accepted.

At least I had some vocal exercise trying to pronounce it.
