Have you tried using the crop function like this:

Crop 999 chars at pos 7 starting at beginning of filename.

This should "crop to" 7 characters. 999 is that high to make sure that all
characters after 7 are removed.

If I misunderstood you, please show me a list of filenames, before and
after, and I will have a look at it!

Hi Dan,

The manual says it can "show only files that have names that are too long"
but that I have to manually rename the files. It can crop x characters off
the beginning or end automatically, but it can't "crop to" x characters
automatically, if I understand it correctly.

I'm just saying it could be helpful in the future, and for more than
cropping to ISO format. I have a lot of filenames that have excess info
after a standardized format, like PDVD001.jpg and
PDVD001GreatStarshipPicture.jpg, that I want to crop to 7 characters to
share with others.

Thanks for the tip!

Understood, and thank you.
