Slide show: Display filename without specific chars

Post by ML_1 »

Ich hätte da einen Vorschlag bzw. Wunsch umgesetzt.

Wenn bei der Diashow der Dateiname ohne Erweiterung eingesetzt wird, ist es möglich bestimmte Zeichen auszublenden ?
Wenn ich folgende Dateinamen habe:

01 Beschriftung 2022 xxx
02 Beschriftung 2022 xxx
03 Beschriftung 2022 xxx

so sollte die Beschriftung so aussehen:

Beschriftung 2022 xxx
Beschriftung 2022 xxx
Beschriftung 2022 xxx

Viele Grüße

Manfred
-----------------------------
I would have implemented a suggestion or wish.

If the file name is used without an extension in the slide show, is it possible to hide certain characters?
If I have the following filenames:

01 Beschriftung 2022 xxx
02 Beschriftung 2022 xxx
03 Beschriftung 2022 xxx

so the caption should look like this:

Beschriftung 2022 xxx
Beschriftung 2022 xxx
Beschriftung 2022 xxx

Many greetings

Manfred

Thank you for your problem report in English and German, Manfred. Currently, filename in info is identical to the actual filename. And I much doubt that there are plans to change this. What you might do is renaming your files and remove the number prefix 01, 02, .... For renaming you can use "{Filename}" as name template and in section replace you enter "^[0-9]* " (without double quotes, please note the space char at the end) and check "regular expression". Field "With" remains empty.
Sure enough this is a workaround and I'm not sure whether renaming your files for viewing in a slide show is practical at all.

Wow, I expected these placeholder parts to work in batch rename, only. But in fact these placeholders parts also work when using these in Tools > Settings | View | Info, textbox "Information displayed".
