Rename a unique name for same images

[dataplumber]

Is there a way to duplicate an image with two or more unique names?

I have a single image that represents 5 different product skus
prod1
prod2
prod3
prod4
prod5

I would like top bulk rename the single image into 5 different files names after each sku.
Can this be done quickly?

(just rambling...)

if you don't need physical copies, creating links could be better
(quicker & space saving)


if you copy a file, then paste it, repeatedly (say, four more times) [through Windows Explorer, or elsewere], it will create multiple copies of the file


UNIX-like cp (copy) command can copy a source file to a different named file, & if you ran that in a loop (say, four times), it can also auto-increment the (copied) file name

Code: Select all

cp.exe   xxx   prod1  --backup=numbered


Code: Select all

similarly you could use UNIX-like ln (link, mklink) command to make links of a named file

Code: Select all

ln.exe   xxx   xxx1


Code: Select all

11/19/2019  04:52 PM           583,373 xxx2
11/19/2019  04:52 PM           583,373 xxx3
11/19/2019  04:52 PM           583,373 xxx4


(copy & link commands themselves can make the multiple copies like this, directly, but if you run them through a loop... [in a batch file, something like... for i = 1 to 4; do execute_command; next i; done])
