Rename file by deleting _ character
« on: May 14, 2012, 12:03:47 PM »
I have been trying to find a simple way of renaming a large number of files which start with the underscore character _

Original file name would be say _DSC12345 and new file name would be DSC12345.

It's probably fairly simple but then again so am I!  :-[

Frank,

Use this as your Renaming string:

{filenamebase:1}

(skips the first letter, the underscore)

HTH,
