File Extension Changes
There are several ways that you can manipulate the file extension, below are descriptions of each option, from top to bottom on the screen shot.
Replace With:
This feature is fairly straight forward, this rule allows you to replace any string of characters with another string. For example you could tell it you want to Replace APPLES with ORANGES by placing APPLES in the first field and ORANGES in the second field.
Insert Before Or After:
This feature allows you to insert a string of text before or after another string of text. For example if my file extension was Mom&Dad and I wanted to change it to Mom&Brother&Dad then I could do so by entering Brother& in the first field, selecting after in the drop down, and then entering Mom& in the third field.
Insert At The Start Or End Of The file extension:
This feature allows you to insert text at the start or end of the file extension. For example if my file was "Picture001" and I selected to insert "My_" at the start of the file extension, then my file extension would become "My_Picture".
Remove From The Start Or End Of The file extension:
This feature allows you to remove a certain number of character from the start or end of the file extension. For example if my file extension was "12345678" and I choose to remove 4 characters from the end of the file extension, I would be left with "1234" as my file extension.
Clear Text Before or After
This allows you to clear all text in the extension before or after a string. For example if I had a file extension of JPG and I choose to clear all text after P then my file extension would become "JP"
Set file extension To
This will set your file extension to exactly what you enter.
Add New Rule
You must always click the Add New Rule button to formally accept the rule you have created. Don't worry you can remove it later if you need to.
WARNING:
Changing file extensions can cause files to no longer be accessible, only use this feature if you know what you are doing.
