2. Please don't top-post; it's rude, and it reverses the flow of  
conversation.

1. Those JPEGs are just images, they don't have frame types.  If you want  
to
know what type of frame the image was derived from, the ffprobe command
you were told earlier will do that.  I'm not sure how useful it will be to
you, since it's entirely unclear what you think you are achieving by this.
If you want to change the filenames, I suggest that you write a script that
takes the output of ffprobe and renames the files accordingly.
