How to remove specific leading characters?
Some titles start with "The", others with "Der" or "Die". Mass-deleting the first 3 characters doesn't have the desired result, because all other tags/filenames will be shortened too.
To remove specific leading chars, create a new action in an existing action group and choose Replace with regular expression as action type.
- Field: choose where you want to remove the chars.
-
Regular expression*: enter
^The\s+ - Replace matches with stays empty.
If you execute this action on your selected files, all The's and following spaces will be deleted. Of course, it works the same way with any other word.
