Rename files removing a specific word

Dear all,

I'm trying to set a rule that renames all aliases in a folder removing the space and the "alias" part. Basically I want to transform "originalfilename alias.extension" into "originalfilename.extension". I guess that that patterns are the way to go, but I'm struggling to make it work the way I want. Every tip is highly appreciated.

Yes, you would use a match pattern. Create a pattern to match the first part of the name, like "(• main name) alias" where (• main name) is a custom attribute set to match "anything". You can then use that attribute in your Rename pattern.
