all the different available NAME columns include the file extension in the displayed information.
I think I remember a time when I had a column with just the $B basename; so I could file rename without having to edit around the file extension.
Can anyone explain what settings I have mucked up to loose this ability.

Re: Column customisation without file extension
to lose the extension you use the plain NAME column, but set your system folder options to "hide extensions from known file types"
btw image uploading works with the [img] tag:

Re: Column customisation without file extension
[1] The [img] tags didn't work for me as the screen-print-file resides on my hard drive not the internet
[2] Got it
Menu > Tools > Options > Advanced > Folder Options >>> Hide extensions for known file types
(also for the F2 rename to select just the $B Basename; the 'plain'-Name column needs to be the leftmost one.
