Sometimes after import i got file name like this : "02.Sweetest Perfection" it would be helpfull , when MC can delete 02. in the name of file, otherwise i must do it manually. In the case of 400 files......."
get flash renamer ;) Super easy!!!
Or use MC... v12 or 13. (you can thank glynor later ;))
Select all affected files, edit the name field using: =removeleft([name],3) Super, Super easy!!!

Yup... There are a couple of routes, but the easiest is probably the 'clean file properties' tool.
Right click > Library tools > Clean file properties. Select the affected field(s) in the list on the left, select "replace underscores with spaces" in the options on the right, click the OK button, job done.
====
To expand a little on 'removeleft' example given above, there is also a removeright function for trimming characters from the other end of fields.
So, you have, =removeleft() or =removeright()
and inside the brackets, you enter the field name to work on, followed by a comma, followed by the number of characters to trim.
