Massive PC file name conversion?
 

I have about 1500 files and I need to make two tweaks to all of them:

1. Convert all underscores to spaces
2. Delete the last five characters, not including the extension

E.g., If a file was named "Image_File_Name_2012.jpg" I want the new name to be "Image File Name.jpg". I don't mind making two passes, one for each action, but I do NOT want to manually edit each file.

Is there a way I can automate this process?

ETA: I'm running Windows 7

windows? are they all in one directory?

There are good batch renamers out there. I've had good luck in the past with D-FileMU but I don't know if there's a Window 7 version (though it might work anyway).

Rename Master is also decent.

They're all in the same directory.

I'll check out Rename Master, thanks Alex.

Alex you rock! Rename Master does exactly what I needed.

I owe you some Love Brownies.

That sounds disturbingly scatological.
