Is there a way?  
or are plans in the works?  
or take this as a friendly suggestion ....

Before running the ACTION to shorten filenames to 64 characters, is there a way to filter to see those filenames that will be affected before taking the ACTION?

Thanks.

RICK

Rick,

I'm sorry, but this is not planned.

Best regards,
