Replace Image Names. A menu asks you to enter an old and a new file name. All file names for Images with the old name or a name which starts with corresponding characters are replaced by the new name. This utlility is especially useful for changing directories. Example: "old" = /data/, "new" = /pics/textures/. The file name "/data/marble.tga" is replaced by "/pics/textures/marble.tga".
