Is there a way to change the filenames of every item in a folder to a random jumble of letters/numbers like pic related?
>>10338
That's not a random jumble, that's the sha1sum of each file.
It is, effectively, a hash table implemented in a filesystem.
>>10338
I too am interested in this question.
>>10377
It's worse than that, anon.

Why do you want the names to be random?
What problem would this solve?
>>10377
But I don't know how to write programs.
>>10401
When replying, I tend to use the images at the very top of the folder, never the ones at the bottom. To counter that, I would like to change the filename every 3 weeks so that fresh reaction images pop up right when I open up the folder.

Oh shit, sorry for delaying you with my shitpost anon, I found 2 potential solutions:
http://www.fileguru.com/Filename-Randomizer/info
https://github.com/craiglotter/Filename-Randomizer
(I didn't test these though)
>>10396
I suddenly have the urge to browse some dank /smug/
...would you be kind enough to upload the folder?
>>10338
you could rename each name to it's hash/md5sum so they are unique
in linux
for i in folder/*.*; do ;
mv "$i" "$(md5sum "$i" | cut -d' ' -f1).${i##*.}";
done
i dunno how in winjews
>>10343
You don't know that it's SHA or if it was, was based on just the filename. Could be some combination of the filename, and size. And no, I'm not doing your homework for you OP.

But my post is worksafe and a request, and last I checked, this is a board for worksafe requests. If you don't fulfill my request I'll have to report you.

Well no, that won't work, becase when OP comes to shuffle them they'll get renamed to the exact same thing.
You want to do something like
>find . | sort -R | xargs touch
and then sort them by date.

Also has anyone confirmed either of >>10420 ?
>>10501
It's 32 hex digits long, which is 128 bits, so it's MD5.
