Example:

I have a folder named MARK (2018) [TEST] [4000P] ([LLC).LT]

I want to have MARK (2018) [TEST] [4000P] ([LLC) LT]

MFR can't seem to see the . in delete right or find and replace.  Nothing works.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Actually I only see the problem in a FOLDER title and not a file.   So my question becomes how do I find and remove / replace or delete a . in a folder name?

anyone?  Can this even be done?   I have folder names with welcome.to.amazon.com and I cannot replace or remove the very last . in the title.  I assume it thinks it's an extension of a file.

You should change apply target of the filter to full file name:
