Hi I've got some really long files name and Bluk is unable to rename Them

What I have at the start:

What I want (remove the _20 and replace them by SPACE)

1-Doctor Who - S03E04 _28021_29 - The Daleks_27 Master Plan _2801_29 - The Nightmare Begins _28Recon_29

2-Doctor Who - S03E04 _28021_29 - The Daleks_27 Master Plan _2802_29 - Day of Armageddon

4-Doctor Who - S03E04 _28021_29 - The Daleks_27 Master Plan _2804_29 - The Traitors _28Recon_29

5-Doctor Who - S03E04 _28021_29 - The Daleks_27 Master Plan _2805_29 - Counter Plot

this is the error I got

I'm prety sure the probleme come from the fact the the file name is too long but i'm not sure

BRU honors your system's FullPathName MaximumCharLimit (varies by shell).
If a file's FullPathName exceeds the limit, it wont address such files (to then rename them).
FullPathName = Drive:\DirPath\Filename.ext

Assuming files were at C:\Dir1\SubDir2\etc\Filename.ext, type below at command-prompt:
Subst Z: "C:\Dir1\SubDir2\etc"

It substitutes Z:\ for chars in "DirPath", letting apps address files as Z:\Filename.ext
(freeing-up more chars for use within Filename.ext)

From there, you should have no prob accessing files via the Z: Drive in BRU's left-pane.
When finished, you can delete the DirPath/Z-Drive substitution by:
Subst Z: /d
