Cropping file extension

Postby axellslade » Tue Apr 30, 2019 6:33 am

Hi guys, I have around 200 pdf files with the extension .pdf.backup.year_month_day_hours_minutes_seconds and I need them to have the .pdf extension again.
Examples:

May2018Report.pdf.backup_2018_12_30_17_46_22
FreightTaxes2018.pdf.backup_2018_08_15_23_47_12

I need them to go back to .pdf extension so I can actually open them by right clicking.

Help?

It so happens that BRU treats the lastmost (dot) as the file extension - even when there is more then one (dot) in the filename.

And with that...


Ensure that Renaming Options -> Ignore --> File Extensions, is unchecked

Then, 11:Extension -> Remove
