How to save .jpg NOT .JPG [closed]

When uploading photos from my iPhone to use for eBay they are automatically saved as .JPG (all caps). However eBay only recognizes .jpg. So I have to manually go back in and rename all the files with the lowercase .jpg.

Is there anyway to have them automatically be uploaded in .jpg and not .JPG, its very time consuming. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Solution 1:

You make no mention of Ubuntu, but you posted this in AskUbuntu. I'm going to assume you are moving photos like this iPhone -> Ubuntu -> eBay, since anything else would probably be off-topic.

Shotwell can do this easily, it's in the preferences menu 'Rename imported files to lowercase':

If Shotwell can't import directly from the iPhone, just copy the images to your Desktop and then import them into Shotwell from there.

Another easy option is to use pyrenamer from the software center. It's especially useful if you are doing lots of these retroactively, and you can also rename JPEGs based on embedded metadata like dates & times.

Solution 2:

I'm not sure about changing how they are uploaded, but if you are uploading them to a folder on ubuntu, you can perform a mass rename to rename everything at once if it makes it easier.

Open up a terminal and type

cd /path/to/photos
rename 's/\.JPG$/.jpg/' *.JPG 

And that will find all files in the directory ending with .JGP and change them to .jpg.
