Perhaps this is wrong, but I got the impression the OP may have
been using the (English?) names of the img files (or part of
them) as a quick way of decking out his alt text.
This might explain why he was bringing in the business of these
files.
I once did something like this (I am not saying these days it is
a good thing to do):
Using GREP Search and Replace, I decked out a website in one go
with alt attributes by telling the text editor to stick in
alt="\1" where \1 captured the file name. And sometimes fancier
still by specifying only the bit of the file name before the
".jpg" or ".gif". And sometimes fancier still by adding words
that I thought seemed natural like "This is a picture of ..." Or
"This is a picture called ...". All this depended on the files
being descriptively named like "redApple". One could get quite
complicated if the naming was along certain principled lines,
even separating the "red" and "Apple" bits, and lower-casing the
"A" etc.
