As long as it's always exactly five characters, this is very simple in Name Mangler—just use a Remove action, set to five characters, starting from index (position) 1, counting from the start. If the numbers vary in length, though, we'll have to use a regular expression in Find and Replace, which we can do, so let me know.

Hello,

I have the following situation.

I have the following file names:

_0001_0067_4x3_Still.jpg
_0002_0078_4x3_Still.jpg
_0003_0105_4x3_Still.jpg
_0575_4606_4x3_Still.jpg
_0675_7839_4x3_Still.jpg
Etc. -> up to 650 images +

And I would like for them to be renamed to the following in batch:

0067_4x3_Still.jpg
0078_4x3_Still.jpg
0105_4x3_Still.jpg
4606_4x3_Still.jpg
7839_4x3_Still.jpg
Etc. -> up to 650 images +

Thank you for assistance!
