Thanks for the alternative approach, Jean!

It’s still quite verbose, though, even involving the creation of a
custom function.

Renaming files to numbers is actually very easy using Dired’s
`wdired-change-to-wdired-mode`, and then doing regexp replace.  The
purpose of my question is to learn a bit about Eshell.

For organizing imported media files by date, I have a Bash script
`organize_media`:
