How to remove last 4 digits in a file name - batch

[hilmartor]

Hi,

Sometimes I take photos of people and I mark them with a _01 to _05 etc. Now I have a batch of photos with different filenames and I want to remove the _01 form the end of the filename. Is there a way to batch this while not changing the filename itself. I cannot rename them all since they have different filenames.

Any idea?

It looks like you really want to remove the last three characters.  You can do that like this:

{filenamebase:0,-3}

You'll have to use this in a Rename.  If you want to preview how this would look, you could put the above in one of your Contact Sheet labels (Preferences->Contact Sheet).
