Rename and Truncate bitmpas - Anything auto?

[Morne]

Hi all

I have a bunch of 3ds files I need to import. The issue is the materials in the 3ds are looking for truncated bitmaps (8 characters DOS then the extension). My actual textures however have the FULL filename and are not truncated so I have to manually go into each one and re-assing the correct bitmap. Is there a way I can truncate all files in a directory? (So that the 3ds import will pickup the correct files)

Ive used this quite a bit in the past, seems to have enough options that you would be able to achieve what you want
