Hello Steve,
You simply open up a requester and select the files to rename. Click on the rename button. You will notice that there are 2 fields, a top and a bottom field. The top field is where you put the part you want changed and the bottom field is where you put what you want it changed to.
For Example:
Select name.1
Rename
1st field- *.1
2nd field- *
This will do what you want.
I typically use it for old iff files. They never have an extension on the them so I select all the picture files and do * in the first field, and *.IFF in the second.
