Is possible to do this with Photo Mechanic?

[tutan25]

Hello,

I want to rename a lot of photos how this example:

V_Mekong_1.jpg
V_Mekong_2.jpg
V_Sapa_1.jpg
V_Sapa_2.jpg

I know to do this function:

{datesort}_{filename}_{seqn}     and then appear:

20090811_V_Mekong_1_01
20090811_V_Mekong_2_02
20090812_V_Sapa_1_03
20090812_V_Sapa_2_04

I want to delete characters marked in red. Is it possible? How?

20090811_V_Mekong_1_01
20090811_V_Mekong_2_02
20090812_V_Sapa_1_03
20090812_V_Sapa_2_04

That the name of the photos look like this:

20090811_Mekong_01
20090811_Mekong_02
20090812_Sapa_03
20090812_Sapa_04

Thanks and best regards

Have you already done this renaming?  If so, it's a lot more work, if not, it is simpler.  Please let me know what you're really starting with.

Thanks,

OK, try using:

{filenamebase:2,-2}

... because you want to skip the first two characters and then use up until the last two characters.

P.S. You can read more on Variable Substring Extraction on page 51 of the manual.  You can get the manual here:

Hello Kirk,

It hasn't worked.

What is the last version of the Photo Mechanic ?   I have the 4.5.3.1

Sometimes it seems that is not displayed on the screen changes the name of the picture being made, but if you click OK, change the name, but without the help of the previous image.

Thanks

Your version is very old.  Only the most recent versions (4.6.x) do resizing.
