   How about moving them all into a single sub-directory, opening a terminal shell,
   moving to the aforementioned directory, and using a command to the effect of "mv
   * *.tiff"

In case someone didn't know how to do that.

First go to the directory where the files you want to rename are using
the cd command. Then write the following three lines ("mynext %1" is the
prompt, like the "?" in the two other lines): 

mynext %1 foreach f (*)
? mv $f $f.tiff
? end
mynext %2
