Small macro challenge?!

[Dazzer]

Hi folks,

I imagine this:

I have a folder that contains the following files:

001.jpg
002.jpg
003.jpg
004.jpg

I want to rename them in a batch to remove ONLY the first zero of each filename, so i get:

01.jpg
02.jpg
etc.....

Actually, i already know how to do this, but i'd like to do it as a one click process.

So, i want to navigate to the folder, select the files and then only perform a one click action to remove the first zero.

Even better would be if that "macro" could be assigned to a button on my buttons bar.

Anyone have any idea if this is achievable?

(BTW, i know how to do it with 3 clicks: multi-rename > select preset > enter)
But i need to do it so often i just want a one click solution!)

Thanks!

Configure MRT and save your scheme as e.g. "RemoveFirstSign"
Make button with command
MULTIRENAME==RemoveFirstSign

Hmmm, i like your style, but it's not working for me!

Are you sure this is correct: MULTIRENAME==MyPresetName
?

When i try it, i get a "file not found" error message.

Yes, i'm sure!

[Dazzer]

It seems you use old version of TC!

[Gral]

I'm guessing you're using TC version 9.00 or similar

A-ha, that was problem, updated and now it works.

Thanks a bunch!
