I'm trying to replace spaces in my filenames (not directory names) with an underscore. The closest I got is using the "Library Tools > Rename, Move and Copy Files" and using the Filename Rule "Replace([Filename (name)], ,_)". Two questions:
1. I cannot seem to be able to replace a space with anything (maybe I am missing something, but I tried " ", ' ' and \ for the second parameter). What is the syntax to get MC to replace a space?
2. The extension part is replicated - getting .flac.flac. How can I avoid this?
Cheers,
Gordon

Use another library tool, called "Find and Replace". Try a few before you do very many.

Using the "Find and Replace" was also replacing spaces in the folder names with an underscore. Am I missing something obvious? :-(

That may be an old build. 111 is at the top of this board.

Try checking Filename (name) only. See attached picture.

Thanks. That was exactly what I needed - I was trying to use the "Find and Replace" under the "Rename ..." tool.
