Total Commander

Would it be possible to get for the Renamer a delete all til or from position function.

How would it look?

Something like this.

How dose it suppose to work?

This is typical example i would find, if i wanted to rename files.

"[Group] Series name 01 (1280x720 Blu-ray Flac) [18b7e8c4].mkv"

How would it work?

You have this:

[Group] Series name 01 (1280x720 Blu-ray Flac) [18b7e8c4].mkv
[Group] Series name 02 (1280x720 Blu-ray Flac) [ag76554b].mkv
[Group] Series name 03 (1280x720 Blu-ray Flac) [e56b87ae].mkv

Delete till position 8: Image: http://tweakers.net/ext/f/WKNums4SNOXRPJUaNQuBeuI6/full.png

You get this.
Series name 01 (1280x720 Blu-ray Flac) [18b7e8c4].mkv
Series name 02 (1280x720 Blu-ray Flac) [ag76554b].mkv
Series name 03 (1280x720 Blu-ray Flac) [e56b87ae].mkv

Delete from position 14: Image: http://tweakers.net/ext/f/HZm8Bcw3brNt4Ck2417ShtFj/full.png

You would get this and are done.
Series name 01.mkv
Series name 02.mkv
Series name 03.mkv

Edit:

Hi player-x,

This is already possible in the MultiRename tool.

Your first example: use [N8-] in File name field
Your second example: use [N1-13] in File name field

Dose not work as easy and it also deletes the file extension!

Next to that, with my suggestion you just push up or down the position arrow and you see whats happening in the preview

Of course "[N1-13].mkv" works, but i like buttons a little better.

File extension deletion can be prevented by using the [E] checkbox in the Search/Replace section of MRT. This was introduced indeed because of files with multiple dots in the name, like some.movie.with.lots.of.dots.in.filename.wmv
I agree on your suggestion being easier to use, but maybe it would introduce some drawbacks, like the maximum length of all names would have to be determined before the dropdown is properly filled with the maximum possible etc.

You should try the "[N#-#] Range" button.

Yeah that one helped a lot, cheers.

If it would, it would only be sporadic i think, and then there is always the old way to fall back on.

Don't see how that helps me really, that one dose just weird stuff, don't even get the function of that one, and is also not listed in the help file.

Short explanation:
It's an simple UI-Helper to build the [N<Start>-<End>] selection string, simply by marking the characters you want to keep, using the the mouse or shift+cursor.
Okay it's the opposite of yours suggestion (Selecting instead of Deleting a character range), but in contrast to your suggestion it's an already existing solution.
