I've had to batch-rename files many times over the years. That means: 1. I do it manually over however many minutes. Works if there aren't too many (especially if the pattern is to…

Yes, they're way better now! The quality was poor because they were using decades-old original IBM tooling, and injection molds don't last forever D:. But, they made new molds in, …
