How about a bit of bash scripting and using GNU tools?

$ cat picturerename.sh

#!/bin/bash
 
# first parameter: flash card location
# second parameter: picture file names beginning to be exchanged with
following 3rd parameter
# third parameter: new picture name beginning
 
if [ $# -ne 3 ]; then
    echo "stopped - usage: picture.sh <path> <picture name beginning>
<new picture name beginning>"
    echo "example: ./picturerename.sh /mnt/flash dsc spring05"
exit 1
fi
 
counter=0
 
for file in $(find $1 -name "$2*" -print0 | xargs -0); do
    echo "processing ${file}: "
    cp -v ${file} $(echo $(basename ${file}) | sed -e
s/$2.*\[.*\]/$3${counter}./)
    let "counter = ${counter} + 1"
done

Script in action:

[adalloz at silentbob tmp]$ ls pictures/
dsc00001.jpg  dsc00002.jpg  dsc00003.jpg  dsc00004.jpg  dsc00005.jpg
[adalloz at silentbob tmp]$ ./picturerename.sh ./pictures/ dsc spring05_
processing ./pictures/dsc00001.jpg:
„./pictures/dsc00001.jpg“ -> „spring05_0.jpg“
processing ./pictures/dsc00003.jpg:
„./pictures/dsc00003.jpg“ -> „spring05_1.jpg“
processing ./pictures/dsc00004.jpg:
„./pictures/dsc00004.jpg“ -> „spring05_2.jpg“
processing ./pictures/dsc00005.jpg:
„./pictures/dsc00005.jpg“ -> „spring05_3.jpg“
processing ./pictures/dsc00002.jpg:
„./pictures/dsc00002.jpg“ -> „spring05_4.jpg“
[adalloz at silentbob tmp]$ ls
picturerename.sh  pictures  spring05_0.jpg  spring05_1.jpg 
spring05_2.jpg  spring05_3.jpg  spring05_4.jpg

Take it as an example and adjust it for your needs.
