Hi,
I'm having an issue with a program not having an option to pad the
numbered files when exporting. It's "relatively" easy to fix with vidir
and using vim macros, but I was wondering if there was an automated way
to do it?

(converting 1.png, 2.png, 10.png to 001.png, 002.png, 010.png, etc..)

The man page for the rename command gives the following example ...
Given the files foo1, ..., foo9, foo10, ..., foo278, the commands

rename foo foo00 foo?
rename foo foo0 foo??

will turn them into foo001, ..., foo009, foo010, ..., foo278.

The rename command is part of the package util-linux.
