John, I'm sorry you didn't see my note posted twelve hours prior to your statements about using Bridge's string substitution. You seemed to see my much later note pretty quickly, however.
As you can see, your note about Bridge on Aug 10, 2016, at 5:26 PM didn't ask any questions. My response, less than 20 minutes later, did actually answer your earlier question on Aug 9, 2016, at 8:46 AM about whether Lightroom had a batch rename facility. It is unlike the one in Bridge, however, in that there is no string substitution mode. enjoy, G On Aug 10, 2016, at 6:19 PM, John <sesso...@earthlink.net> wrote: > > Your "precise instructions" hadn't arrived at my inbox when I asked > whether Lightroom had a batch rename command, nor when I responded to > Doug & Larry. > > I'm not suggesting Larry should use Bridge, I was asking whether an > option available in Bridge is available in Lightroom. Apparently not.
