Code Replacement on Windows can be used in the Rename Photos dialog.  On the Mac it does not.  If you're on Windows, then Code Replacement works just the same as it does in the IPTC dialogs.  You just type your delimiter character (by default it is '\') and then your Code, followed by the delimiter character.  The Replacement will replace the Code and its delimiters.

should have said, os x, intel.  Is it in the works for Mac or only windows?

I initially had no intention of Code Replacement working anywhere else other than the IPTC dialogs, but as a side effect of how the Windows version of Code Replacement was written it happens to work in other places.

It is not currently in the works for the Mac.  That could change however.

Tamer:
Any chance this functionality has changed for the Mac version in 4.5.3?

I would like to be able to use this to abbreviate the camera model so that "Canon 5D" can just be "5D".  Since there are several camera models in the mix, I can't just use substring extraction.

I am also looking for a way to better group files by {type}.  Some of my folders have a mix of .mov, .avi, .jpg, and .cr2 files and their various sidecar .xip, .thm, and .xmp files.  If I ingest folders on {type} I get too fragmented of a result.  All I really want to accomplish to is sift the video files (and their sidecar files) into one folder tree and have the photos (and their sidecar files) in another tree.

If code replacement still doesn't work in the Mac version, do you have any suggestions on how I can tackle this?

Thanks!
