I'm sure lots of people will chime in with their favorite handlers, but if you want something right now, fire up Automator -- it's in your Applications folder -- and build a two-action workflow:


	Get Selected Finder Items
	Rename Finder Items (Replace Text, find: chk, replace: jpg)

Select all the files, click the Run button in Automator, and there you are. Depending on how the files are laid out, you might have an easier time if you change the first action to something like Get Selected Finder Items followed by Get Folder Contents.

One of the reasons I stopped using Automator and just writing completely in AS (besides that Automator is a pig) is that "Get Selected Finder Items" works all too well (at least on Leopard) such that it will return files that are selected in a finder window that isn't active. That burned me big time once! I had selected some finder items and forgot about it because the window was hidden, then later in another finder window selected some more finder items, but "Get Selected Finder Items" got them all! -- not just the ones I intended in the active finder window. I will never use "Get Selected Finder Items" ever again. It's evil.
