Is there a single PowerShell command to copy and rename files?
I am using the following command to copy files from a network share to my local hard drive based on a CSV file. import-csv C:\TEST\test.csv | foreach {copy-item -path $_.npath -destination 'C:\TES...
In this case, just make a CSV file container the image you want to copy 431 times in the first column and the target filename(s) in the second column. Should be a doddle in Excel, particularly if the filenames are regular.
Or, even easier, repeat the copy command 431 times, save it as a .bat file and execute.
COPY C:\newimage.jpg D:\images\1.jpg
COPY C:\newimage.jpg D:\images\2.jpg
COPY C:\newimage.jpg D:\images\3.jpg
etc.

Because that is a fundamental data issue.
As said above, create a text file and repeat the lines as mentioned, ie:
COPY C:\newimage.jpg D:\images\1.jpg
COPY C:\newimage.jpg D:\images\2.jpg
COPY C:\newimage.jpg D:\images\3.jpg
Then rename the file from "yourfile.txt" to "yourfile.bat" (Assuming this is a windows machine?). then run the file in CMD.
Make sure you have "show file extensions" turned on in windows so you can rename the .txt to .bat.

This windows program has batch processing and renaming of image files - so there may be a way of replacing all the image files with one image file while renaming the files as you wish. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Had to read the opening post twice to understand the problem.
The only practical solution is to save the new image with the existing file name then duplicate and rename 431 times. A script will speed up the process but you may need to pay someone to do this.
Or ask on a freelancer site and they can do it for you for a few dollars.
What’s not clear is how the files are named. Is it for example a sequence or are they all totally different.

If this task is going to come up again, you would do well to restructure things so you have one image file and 431 differently named symlinks to it.
Then to change you just need to overwrite the image file with the new one. Job done, and repeatable as many times as you like.

Oops, that'll teach me to read rather than scan.
Problem for the OP might be actually doing that. I think in Windows it's a command prompt thing?

If anyone can make me a simple little program that automatically does it.
A box with the new image file (box A)
A box with the current list of files
A go button!
And a list of the new files, all with the same names but containing the image from box A
Who can do this and how much would you charge?

Nah, I wouldn't have charged you, it's not like it's a big job. I was waiting for your reply to my last message to see if you needed help but you never responded, so I assumed you had found a solution.

From memory, I think this will do it:
Easy File Renamer Official. Easiest File Renamer, Mover & Copier.
Batch rename multiple files, Move files and folders in bulk, and Copy your data in seconds with No#1 & Reliable File Organizer, the Easy File Renamer (EFR).
Been a while since I used it, and I haven't used the latest version.
If not, I'll take a look this evening.

Only if that folder is being accessed. Look at the names and dates of the files. If they are ancient the likelihood it's part of an old configuration. If you have newer files then it could be you have server caching enabled (for faster file access).
Rename the folder and see if your site still works. If not change it back.
