Clear All

The Clear All task removes every character from the filename, leaving a blank slate. It is typically the first task in a pipeline when you want to build an entirely new filename from scratch rather than modifying the original.

Controls

Clear All has no configurable options. Adding it to the pipeline is sufficient.

How to use it

On its own, Clear All would produce empty filenames, which is not useful. Its power comes from pairing it with other tasks:

1. Add Clear All as the first task
2. Add Custom Text, Number Sequence, Date, or Time tasks after it

The tasks that follow build the new filename from nothing, ignoring the original name entirely.

Example

Goal: rename all files to project_001.jpg, project_002.jpg, etc.

Pipeline:

1. Clear All
2. Custom Text — Value: project, Position: @ Start
3. Number Sequence — Start: 1, Padding: 3, Separator: _, Position: @ End

Result:

Tips

• Always place Clear All at the very top of the pipeline
• The file extension is handled separately by Filera — Clear All removes the name stem but preserves the extension
