Thanks so much to all that responded, definitely making progress!
While I'm at it, I'll ask another question... I'm realizing some of these files might not be jpegs, and instead could be gifs or tiffs, or maybe something else entirely.
I read about a Windows data recovery application that looks at the header to determine what kind of file it is, and then changes the extension to match... Anybody know of a way to do that on a Mac?

Why not use the Apple supplied Finder scripts, such as Trim file names, Add to
file names, and Replace text in item names?
