file rename concatenating
« on: September 20, 2008, 12:04:19 AM »
Hi,

Is it possible to rename photos by concatenating a fix length of characters?

For example, if have these photos:

wedding_001
wedding_002
..
wedding_999


I want to rename them such that the first few characters get removed.  This is the result filename that I want to have:
001
002
..
999

Thanks,
Rico

Sure.  Use the following as your renaming string:

{filenamebase:-3}
