Re: [Pan-users] 0.11.3 question

If I use that solution, the next step for me (using SuSE 8.0) is:

mmv "*" "BobsCat#1"

or, slightly more complex:

mmv "*.jpg" "BobsCat#1.jpg"
(in case there are non-jpg files in the directory).

I'd just been hoping I could use some sort of wildcard *within* Pan to do
this.
