Maybe would it be more "readable" if you use a negative start for the substring extraction:
%n(-1) => 1
%n(-2) => 01
%n(-3) => 001
...

The possibility to specify "%n" parameters directly in the expression will be in the 2.00.

Best regards.

You can already copy (Ctrl+P) the selected file list and paste it somewhere. It can include the current and future names.
Making this feature automatic ... i am not sure ... nobody asked me for this and personally i've never needed it.

As long as the "computed" name is a valid path+file name, all should be fine.
Non existing folders are created.
For now the copy is not supported. Is it really useful ?

Best regards

I don't think that changing "%nc" and "%ncs" behaviours would be a good idea.
I understand your needs but the way they currently work seems more useful to a standard utilization.

Maybe could it be possible to add two more variables to handle the case.
I'll think to it for the next version.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Hello,

Thanks for your message.

If there is a problem, it is a misunderstanding. I must admit that the help/documentation is perhaps a bit short on this point...

"%ncs" is computed the same way as "%nc".

The important part here is: "(same beginnings)".
It means that "%nc", and "%ncs", are computed based on the text found before them.

For a given file, "%ncs" value is incremented as many times as a file with a lower selection number has a "Future name" beginning with the same character sequence. In your example, the result of "%Xdt_%XSt".
The expression part after "%ncs" is not taken into account.
In your example, the extension (%le) is not part of its computation.

This may sound strange but it's the way i have chosen to do it.

For your rename operation, the solution can be to do it in two steps: first the "nef"s and then the "jpg"s.
(Ctrl+S or the menu option "Select/Sel with filter" can be useful)

I hope this little text has filled the documentation lacks.

Hello,

I don't know which Siren's version you're using but this feature has been implemented in the 1.80.
If not already done, download the last release and have a look at "Command line" in the "?" menu.

All comments appreciated.

For this kind of task i use the excellent Exifer.
Select the files and go to "Exif/IPTC", "Edit", "Exif data" and "Date".
Exifer has rename capabilities too.
Based on your previous posts i think it can fulfill your needs.

As you surely noticed, a right-click will make the completion window appear.
To paste the clipboard in the expression edit box, put the cursor in it and type "Ctrl+V".

A shortcut that may interest you: if you want to copy the filename currently highlighted (blue), just type "Ctrl+I" (Ctrl + letter i).
Another one that could be useful: get the cursor column by pressing "Ctrl+P".

Ok.

L'ajout de cette fonctionnalité est prévu ... mais ce ne sera pas pour tout de suite (la 1.90 ne l'aura pas).
Désolé.

Merci pour cette suggestion.
