Krename
Krename is a very powerful batch file renamer for KDE which can rename a list of files based on a set of expressions. It can copy/move the files to another directory or simply rename the input files. Krename supports many conversion operations, including conversion of a filename to lowercase or to uppercase, conversion of the first letter of every word to uppercase, adding numbers to filenames, finding and replacing parts of the filename, and many more. It can also change access and modification dates, permissions, and file ownership.

Whoah, thanks!
In the mean time, I've hacked a scriptie that employs enca and iconv to recover a mixed charset dir (not that uncommon situation while moving data off windows, both files and archived data, and target locale charset isn't precisely the same as 8-bit "system" charset in windows, like CP1251).
But that's a bit beyond askable, being a bit advanced/custom (you never know what other script they would churn up, heh? :-)
Will ping our maintainer...
Re: Am I the only one...
Charset conversion support was finally added (in a way so that it is working) in KRename 3.0.13!

Am I the only one...
...who wished krename had charset conversion plugin based on iconv/recode/enca?
It's understood that it's too bad to have a real *bunch* of charsets but that's exactly what's here in xUSSR and some other Eastern European countries at least.
KRename is a teriffic utility
I can't remember how many times I've had to
manually edit a directory-full of file names for some
reason or another. KRename can automate that, and
much more. WIth direct support for MP3/Ogg
renaming, as well as the usual regexp-based
renaming you would expect, there's not much it can't
do. Well worth the download.
