Dropping the 100_ from file names

->> Anybody know a good program for batch renaming my 1D file names so I can keep the 4-digit portion of the file and change all of the "100_'s" to something else?
For example,
Change 100_0001 - 100_0234
to Soccer_001-Soccer_0234
Thank you,
-Pablo |

->> Yeah! Nikon Viewer 6...:)
Actually there are several. Photoshop CS has an easy way of doing through the browser. ACDC does it too.

->> If you are on Mac, a freeware program called "Renamer4Mac" is what I use. Works great and very easy to use.

->> Sorry, I forgot to mention I'm on PC.
Devin, ACDSee does batch rename but not how I want it to.
Hassel, that looks like it might work - I'll try that.
Delane, I havn't used Downloader Pro. From the description on the website it describes "flexible" renaming options... do you know if it does what I want to do after I've already downloaded the photos?
Thanks to all!

| ->> You can also use Photo Mechanic. There is an option there to start numbering the files at a specific number. Just change the start number to the first number of your image. From what I know Photo Mech. is the best program out there for batch-renaming and captioning. I would say go with that for sure. |

->> Pablo, If you are windows, the camera and scanner wizard does it very easily. Also Canon DPP or PS browser.

->> Thanks, guys. I don't want to change the existing 4-digit file number for the images, only remove or customize what is in the 100_ portion of the file name. I typically use ACDSee for batch renaming because it is quick and easy but it doesn't do what "1-4a" Rename does.
I am now happily renaming files with this "freeware".
