+==== Default Programs ====
+You can set the default programs used to open files by:
+  - Finding the name of the program's desktop file
+    * It should be in ''/usr/share/applications'' or ''~/.local/share/applications''
+  - Use ''xdg-mime'' to set the default, eg: ''xdg-mime default pcmanfm.desktop inode/directory''
+You can confirm with ''xdg-mime query default inode/directory''
+There are also GUI tools to do this, and if you use a //desktop environment// you probably have one already installed.

 ==== Renaming Multiple Files ====
-For me, **[[mmv]]** has the easiest syntax to remember. You'll probably have to install it. Otherwise, most [[file_manager|file managers]] should support it if you want a GUI?
+For me, **[[mmv]]** has the easiest syntax to remember. You'll probably have to install it. There's a version of [[rename]] that uses [[Perl]] and allows [[regular expression]]s.
-''mmv [options] [from] [to]''
-You use ''#[number]'' in your ''[to]'' to represent //wildcards// in your ''[from]''.
-=== Examples ===
-Rename all files ''Treme SxxExx.mp4'' to ''SxxExx.mp4''\\
+Otherwise, [[GPRename]] is a graphical tool for batch renaming, and most [[file_manager|file managers]] should have some kind of batch file renaming built-in ([[Thunar]] does, [[pcmanfm]] doesn't).
-''mmv "Treme *" "#1"''
