Variable for folder name

[DavidHoffmanuk]

Is there a variable for the name of an enclosing folder that I could use in a renaming string?

If not, is there a way that I could add the folder name to an unused metadata field & use that?

something like tokens like Parent Folder and Grandparent Folder introduced in Capture One Studio?
It would be great if PM matched C1 in this regard

{folder} = The folder name for a photo (e.g. the current contact sheet)

Please make a feature request if you want additional variables added.  These threads are not tracked for feature requests.

Thanks Kirk, I should have found that myself. I struggle to find the variable list, usually have to Google for it. I've made finding it more easily a feature request.
