Title: Rename: replace the original file name
Post by: maestralien on March 19, 2013, 16:48:43

Using the RENAME function, it seems not possible to completely replace the file name, but just make a modification to it because the file name [N] must be in the expression. How to rename a file replacing totally its name? Eg.: filename001.txt must be replaced with replacename001.txt

Thanks.

If you want to rename a single file then don't just the MultiRename tool. It is used when you want to rename Many files based on some rules.
For single file rename press Menu>Tools>Rename current file.  or Shift+F6, Or slow Click and wait on an item.

For the Mass renamer.,Then [N] tag does not need to be there. It just represent the current file name. you can type "MyFile" instead but if you got multiple files in the list then you will get a conflict since not all the files can be named the same then you need to add a [C] (counter) tag so the files get a number too or something.
