Rename a JPG File to Photo Taking Time

If you use DC to take photos, the file names are in form of a prefix following by a sequence number. This form of file name is meaningless and not convenient for looking up. Recently, I found a tools called jhead which can rename JPG files to their photo taking time in a batch. To do the batch renaming, just issue a single command:
jhead -n%Y%m%d-%H%M%S *.jpg
jhead is more than a file rename util. It is a exif Jpeg header and thumbnail manipulator utitliy. Please visit jhead's web site for details: http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/
