Move Section

The move function cuts out a section of the filenames and moves it to another position.

• Cut - Enter the number of characters you want to cut out of the filenames.

• from pos - Enter the position from where to start cutting the characters. The position is zero based, meaning that position 0 points to before the first character in the filename.

• paste at - This is the position where the cut out section is to be inserted into the filename again. Also zero based. Note that the position is calculated after the cut has taken place.

• Counting backwards - This means that the position starts at the end of the filename and "moves" towards the beginning.

  Tip: Press the button with an eye icon (or use the shortcut F3) to open the Visual Assist window that allows you to visually set the positions and length of the section to cut out!

Hint: Another way to rearrange the content of your filenames is to define "filename parts" and then use them in the free format function. This has the advantage of being more flexible and no relying on exact positions like in the move function.
