Resize file names with multirename tool

[jpcv]

I've got files with long names and I want to resize this names for a shorter file name.

Before: 12345678901234567890.zip
After: 123456789012.zip

Before: 123456789012345.zip
After: 123456789012.zip

Is there any way to do this?

[N1-12]

Just select the long-name files, press Ctrl+T to run the Multi-Rename Tool, then type [N1-12] in the "Rename mask: file name" box. Click Start! and you're done.

Obviously in the case you gave there will be a problem since both files will be renamed to the same name. The multi-rename function will warn you about the duplicate name and permit you to abort the rename.

A possible solution in this case would be to use a counter, e.g.
[N1-10][C:2]

[jpcv]

In this case
[N1-10][C:2]

Is the counter only added if duplicates names ar found or is alway added?

Another question:

How can I do to make a replace in file name and not in the extension?

For example, I want to replace all dots in a name for spaces except the dot for the extension.

Always.

For example, I want to replace all dots in a name for spaces except the dot for the extension.

Search+replace is always acting on the entire name, sorry.

jpcv,

For example, I want to replace all dots in a name for spaces except the dot for the extension.

You can do this by first replacing the extension by something like X[E], then replacing all the dots with <clear> and then replacing the X with a dot.
