i have a bunch of images with the filenames like this:
000001.tif
000002.tif
.
.
.
005466.tif
.
.
.
and so on...

is it possible to somehow get rid of leading zeroes in an simple and
effective way?

thanks in advance!

Code:
myPath := USERPROFILE . "\My Documents\My Pictures"
myExt := "tif"

Loop, %myPath%\*.%myExt %
{
   SplitPath, A_LoopFileName,,,OutExtension, OutNameNoExt
   ZeroUnpaddedFilename := OutNameNoExt / 1
   FileCopy, %A_LoopFileName%, %ZeroUnpaddedFilename%.%OutExtension%
   }
Question

biotech,

open the folder with your files, mark the first file and press the hotkey (in my example Windows+dot):
Code:
#IfWinActive, ahk_class ExploreWClass
#.::
clipboard=
loop
  {
  Send, {F2}^c
  ClipWait
  If (clipboard=newname) ;break the loop at the last file name
    {
    send, {ESC}
    break
    }
  newname:=RegExReplace(clipboard, "^[0]+","") ;the "^" means that only leading zeros will be removed
  send, %newname%{ENTER}
  send, {DOWN}
  sleep, 200
  }
#IfWinActive
return


Tested.
