Topic: How to get rid of  at start of file names ??

I have been using Siren for a bit and the options gave me a way of hiding un-needed  at the start of file names and it worked.

But for some reason the  is back again and i just cannot find the link now ?

Can anyone help please.

Re: How to get rid of  at start of file names ??

Hello and welcome,

Sorry but I need more details to recreate and understand the bug :
- The version of Siren you are using (it is indicated in the "About ..." dialog)
- The renaming expression
- The names of the files you are working on
- If you are using metadata (Exif, Iptc, id3 ...) I need to have access to one of the files.
Give me an address to download it or try to send it me using the mail @ in Siren's "About" dialog.
- Your machine OS name and version

Regards

Some thought


 is the UTF-8 BOM (Byte-Order-Mark)

That is normal inside an file, at the begin.

Do you see this on an file name? (is this really possible?) Or just in the preview?
Did you use %T, line extracted from a text file? (I don't know if %T have problem with UTF-8)
