***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In the Album view, select a single file.  (May require a single file in an album, I'm not certain about this point).  Must have Exif.Image.DateTimeOriginal set in the file.
2. Right click and select Rename...
3. Type "Taken "
4. Click the Metadata button.
5.  Search for and select DateTimeOriginal in the EXIF tab.
6.  Click on OK.
7.  Click on Number.
8. Make it 4 digits long.
9. Note that the preview is wrong.  (Taken 1)
10.  Do the rename.
11.  Note the file rename is wrong.  (Same as the preview (Taken 1).

OBSERVED RESULT
Renamed to "Taken 1"

EXPECTED RESULT
Renamed to "Taken 1987_04_01_00_00_0001"  Note that the actual time stamp would be different for different files.  This is just an example file name.

Comment 1 Maik Qualmann 2023-02-16 06:53:09 UTC

I can't reproduce an issue when the "correct" DateTimeOriginal is selected.
Use the filter below the listing in the metadata window and filter for "TimeOriginal". You will see two listings, one under Image Information and one under Photograph Information. The DateTimeOriginal entry under Photograph Information usually always has the valid date.
So use in your example:

"Taken [meta:Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal]

And not:

"Taken [meta:Exif.Image.DateTimeOriginal]
