I have the photos for the newspaper I'm working at stored in folders named like "YY-MM-DD_name-of-article". I have a folder for each article. Now, in our editorial system, they want them named like "DDMMYY_name-of-article_resort_journalist" and I want to achieve that with the least amount of effort. I got journalist, resort, MM and YY figured out using a preset during export. For the DD part I'm entering a Date manually (using the add custom text box in the export preset), because the convention specifies that I have to use the date the article will be published which is usually not the current day (so no way to enter this automatically into the filename using the current date feature). The problem comes in with the name of the article: I don't want to enter this name again and I can't, because the add custom text box is already filled with the publishing date. So I have it set up to use the folder name, because it also contains the article name. But it also contains the Date in a reverse order, so after export, my files are named like this: "DDMMYY_YY-MM-DD_name-of-article_resort_journalist". And the people at the newspaper don't want to have this additional YY-MM-DD in their filenames. So the question is:
TL;DR Is there a way to tell Lightroom to extract only the characters after the underscore in the folder name the exported pictures are in and put that into the file during export. That would solve the problem of the additional YY-MM-DD appearing in the filename. I know that I could do this manually, but it is a huge pain and I usually don't have the time.
