I come to you guys because I do not know the way cuz I'm a nob, but I will investigate how to do what you answer me to make it.
I understand I need to create a Script, well, can you help me telling me how it has to be? And I will investigate the rest. Btw I'm using mac os Catalina, and Win10 on Parallels.
I need to rename 24000 .jpg files they are distributed in more than 2,000 directories, (the parent directory is in desk btw) but I need to add the directory name BEFORE the real name of the files, I want this so they can all stay in one directory and keep order.
This is an extract of the filelist, and here is the entire .txt filelist on MF.

I need to preserve one symbol like - to separate the directories in the filenames.
And don't care if the - has to be _ or something else, either if before I need to eliminate the spaces, I just need rename the files with the directory of each one.
Thank you so mucho to read me and take care : )
Finally I got it. I had to use "A Better Finder Rename V.11.11.27", the program allowed me to do exactly what I needed, it let me choose up to 6 level of parental folders to rename my files.
I leave this answer to my question as a solution in case someone needs to do the same.
I am attaching screenshots.
You can see the name before and after All in just 15 seconds.
