How to remove text strings?

In order to remove text strings, create a new action in an existing action group and choose Replace as action type.

  • Field: Here you can enter which field(s) you want to change.
    You can choose

    • _ALL, which affects tags AND filenames,
    • _TAG which affects all tag fields,
    • _FILENAME which only affects the filename,
    • or simply one of the other supported tag fields.
  • Original: Here you enter the string that you want to delete.

  • Replace with: Just leave this empty, because you're going to delete the string in Original.

Example:
Assume that you want to remove Obsolete from the filename ThisShouldRemainObsolete so that ThisShouldRemain is the result. To achieve that, just enter Obsolete at Original.
