Thanks for the hints!

Both solutions do it for me.

In the concrete case I prefer the mmv way for now.

For Krename I had to search a bit for how to use a wildcard. It must be 
used as a regular expression in search/replace and the box "includes 
RegExp" must be checked. Then it works, too.

I wish you all beautiful Christmas, much Love and Peace!
