SUMMARY Renaming fails if its destination is a "new" folder. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select some images 2. choose rename 3. add "test\[file]" as pattern 4. hit ok Sidenote: My original goal was it to move images in subdirectories by date on which they are created "[date:"yyyy-MM-dd"]\[file]". But that also did not even work. OBSERVED RESULT Error Dialog appears "An error occurred while renaming 11 images. Do you want to rename these images again or rename these images by overwriting?". By choosing overwriting nothing happens. EXPECTED RESULT An subdirectory with name test is created and all images are moved into it with its original name. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 10 Pro 1809 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION My Images are on a separate internal drive. Creating a folder by hand and moving files into it, are works. So it should not be a rights problem. It also failes with 6.0.0. I also tried if its a \ / problem and put in a / which also did not works.
This function is not provided for renaming. We prevent under Linux also the "/", for Windows then also the "\". There is already a wish as a bug report to automatically move images into date-based sub-albums. Maik
