Hi @ohrenkino  
Is it possible to create an action for this?

Converter\>Tag-Filename  
And for the ones here

Create an action of the type "Format value" for \_FILENAME.  
The format string is the same as for the converter.  
The converter has the advantage of a preview function so you can see if everything will work ok.

Sure  
Is it the same process for the rest  
Filename - Tag  
Filename to Filename  
Text file - Tag

No.  
Filename - Tag -\> Guess value with source %\_filename%  
Filename to Filename -\> Replace with regular expression  
Text file - Tag -\> no equivalent, even though there is a similar one with "Import data from text file"
