Hello.
When I rename my files (from a canon R6), and using the variable "timesortlong", files have 10 number length. For instance : 1500151700 , for an image shooter at 15h00 15 17 00

When I use the variable "'timesort", then the files are only 6 number length : for instance 150015.

Is there a way to have a 8 length name ? for instance 15001517 ?

Yep. See this document for the full explanation: https://camerabits.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/48001077381-variable-substring-extraction

And I've attached a screenshot of exactly how you'd achieve this.
