So a few months back I managed to synchronize my oldest GPS data log files with my RAW images using geosetter and exiftool. Unfortunately, during this process I made an error and instead of syncing the data into xmp sidecar files, exiftool ended up writing directly into the raw files. Not exactly a fan of this, but the program created backups of the old files DSCxxxx.ARW_original.

Anyway, what I need is a suggestion for a good, free, batch file renamer, so I can delete the duplicate arw's, and rename the _original ones back. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Photoscape. I use it for batch renaming, as well as other things.

for f in *_original ; do mv $f `echo $f | sed 's/_original//'` ; done

if you have PS, Wouldn't adobe's standalone BRIDGE application do this? I like use it to rename my files

Don't have PS/Bridge, so this does not help me unfortunately.

Success: feature already built in exiftool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exi ... #utilities

Looks like you already found something but Nikon's View NX can also rename files and edit EXIF data and its free. Also works on non-Nikon files - just not non-Nikon raw files.

Try renamer:
