regex="\/thumbs_"
for file in */thumbs/*.jpg ; do
    if [[ "$file"  =~ ${regex} ]]
    then
      echo "skipping: $file"
    else      
      mv "$file" "$(dirname "$file")/thumbs_$(basename "$file")"
    fi
done

# Append any file that doesn't have the word ".bak" in its full path
regex=".bak"
for file in */thumbs/*.jpg ; do
    if [[ "$file"  =~ ${regex} ]]
    then
      echo "skipping: $file"
    else      
      mv "$file" "$(dirname "$file")/$(basename "$file").bak"
    fi

# Appending file name right before extension
