Doing this to already imported images does break all the links. The one time I did this, I extracted the image files, renamed and re-injected them. I then used regex to do a search and replace on the old file names and replace them with the new file name on "all files" plus "current file" for content.opf. It was a bit easier than manually renaming 300 image files.
Something like (using the filename segment from taneal1):
Code:
search Pict_statesecret_(.*?)\.jpg
replace: \1.jpg
OTOH, the suggestion was doing this before importing files which is a bit hard when the files already exist in the epub.
OYAH, in future, I'm going to avoid this type of task. I wasn't the author who added the entire flipping path to the original image directory on his computer as part of the filename.
