I have some files named as follows :
Track-Artist-Title **-Xxl**.mp3 ( 3502-Arrested Development-People Everyday-Xxl.mp3 )
I would like to create a action that will remove the -Xxl ( Highlighted in bold ) from the
end of my file name. I have never created an action before so if this is possible please
give me a step by step if it's not going to take too long..
Thank You
Update : problem solved. I know most of you already know how to do this but if i need
to refer to this later here it is.
I went to **Actions** \> **Actions** click the **New** icon and named my action in the field provided.
Then clicked the **New** icon again in the new window and choose the **Replace** action option.
**Field** - \_Filename
**Original** - -Xxl
**Replace with** - ( left blank )
Then selected ok and ran the custom action and my problem was solved. I keep getting supprised by how versatile this program is
