The filters should allow renaming of
filename+file-extension.

e.g.

bla.nfo -> bla.txt

    It does. What it doesn't explecitely is renaming only the
    extension. You can make workarounds by using the
    Search&Replace with regular expressions like "[^.]*$" that
    would fith the extension string only.

    I tried the regex suggestion--doesn't seem to work. It doesn't look like I have access to the extension in the 'Find what' box. 'Before renaming' box doesn't show the extension, either. So, for example, if the input file is a.mpp, and I use your suggested workaround to rename the file to "a.sav", the rename suggests that the files would be renames a.sav.mpp. It doesn't look like I can tell Rename-It to stop putting the extension back in. If I use your regex workaround and tell Rename-It to rename the file to 'a', it says it will rename it to 'a.mpp'.

    Or am I missing something? Thanks.

    I'm using version 3.41 on XP Pro.

    Top menu "Rename" > Check "Filename with extension". After that it'll be renamed.
    For more details you can take a look at the Flash tutorial on the website.
