Incorrect renaming with {fnum}
« on: November 10, 2018, 12:31:53 AM »
Hi Kirk! Build 19711.

Original images were from Canon, e.g. BOY_1286.JPG.

When renaming to a longer string, in my case like BOYKO_ICELAND2018_{fnum}, every image that had a .XMP file was renamed incorrectly: the numbers lost initial zeroes, e.g. file 0005 became BOYKO_ICELAND2018_5.JPG, file 0046 became BOYKO_ICELAND2018_46.JPG.

Is this a bug or was I using the rename incorrectly?

Hard to say without some sample files to test with.  But since it isn't working for you, there is a different method, use:

BOYKO_ICELAND2018_{filenamebase:-4}

and this should grab the last four numbers off of the existing filename and append it to the new name.

HTH,
