Batch rename

Hi all,

Quick question.
I would like to batch rename about 250 files ... but ... it is important to keep the old file name, subtract three of the last letters of that filename and add a new suffix.

So for example the old filename is RRT-100_01-max.png and the new filename should be RRT-100_01-min.png

How could this be accomplished ?

In the "Batch Rename" dialog you can use "[x] Replace" for replacing one string with another. E.g. Replace "-max" with "-min".

aaah, so simple and right in front of my eyes (yet I wasn't sure what it was for, but now I understand).

Thank you !!
