Kirk Baker:
Ingest already has the ability to apply metadata and rename your files as the Ingest progresses.  What is it that your feature would do that Ingest doesn't already do?  How would the end result differ?

pdizzle:
For naming - if you are importing card from a multi cam shoot and you want {seqn} to be based off of when the photos were shot, then this would be good because you can wait for the importing of multiple cards to finish and then let it rename

For metadata - I've found it quicker to import my cards and then apply metadata all at once

Sven:
I rename the images during ingest this way: {iptcyear4}{iptcmonth0}{iptcday0}_{hour24}{minute}{second}{subsecond}
This requires that the time and date of the cams is in sync to avoid a wrong order. If you don't do more than 1 image per second you could skip the {subsecond}
