File rename pattern

Hi There

I want to rename my files while imporing " $(EXIF_YEAR)$(EXIF_MONTH)$(EXIF_DAY) $(JOBCODE)" I used to do this so, but know it doesn’t work. It says check import session settings.
When i tick the box keep original file name it’s working okay.
What do i do wrong

Which software are you talking about?

Darktable

I’ve moved the post from the category Processing to Software|darktable.

Hi Emiel,
welcome to the forum. Can you post a screen shot of what is in your import preferences. You can see from mine that I do something similar to what you are asking for the sub directory naming but I have chosen to keep the file name as the original. This works fine for me.

Also, could you state what version of DT and what OS you are using.

It use to work

You need to add something that will make the filename unique, such as $(MSEC)

$(SEQUENCE) I forgot that one…
