Rename file - Substring addition

[Frank]

I have been struggling to rename a large batch of files. I have used {filenamebase:1} to take out the underscore at the start of the filename ( I wish Nikon would drop that!) but I want to add a D at the start of the file name. So the old file name would be _7001234.NEF, new file name is now 7001234.NEF. But I cannot figure out how to Add the D. 

It would also be nice if I could add FF at the end of the file as my agent likes some way to identify each photographers images by initials.

So, the old file name would be _7001234.NEF and the new file name would be D7001234FF.NEF.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Use this as your rename string:

D{filenamebase:1}FF

That should do it.
