New in Siren 3.10 (Jan 11, 2013)
- New modifier : Group renaming
- By default a variable content always belongs to the file currently treated. This modifier allows to change this behaviour and use the information from another file of the "group" it belongs to. A group is a number of consecutively selected files.
- The usage is : < p, i >
- p : group size
- i : file indice in the group
- Examples : %b.%e : the base names will be set to the one of the first file of the group
- 2,2>b.%e : the base names will be set to the one of the second file of the group
- b - %Xdo.%e : append to the base names the exif date of the second file of the group (of three files)
- Contextual help:
- In the completion window (F1 and contextual menu)
- In the tag visualisation tab (F1 and contextual menu)
- In the file list (contextual menu)
