Nautilus Bulk Renaming - Is it Possible to Delete Everything After the Underscore?

I recently purchased, ripped, and almost finished transcoding the entire series of Friends. I’m currently in the process of converting subtitles with Subtitle Edit. I’d like to save myself a bit of work by taking the last 13-14 characters off the ends of the file names.

For example, I’d like to take track13[spa] off of the following filename: 03x10 - The One Where Rachel Quits_track13_[spa].sup

Or is this not possible with Nautilus?

  • I think it will only work with Nautilus if the text you want to remove is always the same. Mark the files to be renamed --> F2 --> select "search and replace" --> enter the text which should be removed in the existing text entry box.
