thunar: Open the bulk rename utility.
$ thunar --bulk-rename
try on your machine

The command "thunar --bulk-rename" is used to launch the Thunar file manager with the bulk rename feature enabled.

Thunar is the default file manager for the Xfce desktop environment but can also be used independently on other desktop environments. It provides a graphical interface for managing files and directories on a system.

The "--bulk-rename" option tells Thunar to open in the bulk rename mode, which allows you to rename multiple files or directories simultaneously. This mode provides various options for renaming files, such as replacing text, adding prefixes or suffixes, changing case, and more. It is particularly useful when you need to rename a large number of files following a specific pattern or naming convention.

By running the command "thunar --bulk-rename" in the terminal or executing it through a launcher, Thunar will start with the bulk rename feature enabled, giving you the ability to efficiently rename multiple files at once.
