This rename preset requires DOpus 12 (or later).
Overview:
Removes everything after the matched text (not including the fileextension).
Very useful to quickly remove random "garbage" from filenames.
Adds an extra field to the rename dialog where you can type a regular expression:
Anything after the part of the file name which matches the regular expression will be removed.
Example:
If you have the filename This is a test.txt and you enter the regex \bis into the Remove All After field then the resulting filename will be This is.txt.
