Imatch Batch Processor file name

[stefanjan2]

I am trying to work out how to extract "White Rhino" from:
E:\Photos\2025\2025-07-23 ¦ Whipsnade Zoo Photofold Outing\2025-07-23 ¦ White Rhino\Processed\

{d1}{seq} gives me a file name "2025-07-23 ¦ White Rhino002" but I'd like the file name to be White Rhino002 so drop the first part up to " ¦"

I'm sure this possible but I couldn't find anywhere in help to work out how to do this. Could someone point me in the right direction.

Folder patterns cannot remove parts of folder names.
Use a variable instead, with the replace:This==That function to replace White Rhino with nothing.

It's not "White Rhino" I want to replace with nothing, it's everything that comes before "White Rhino" so I don't want the date & " ¦ " in the file name or in other words drop the first 12 characters in the parent folder name to use when creating a file name in the Image Batch Processor.

Use substr with a variable then.

{File.MD.file.foldername|substr:13} removes the first 13 characters of the full path.
I've tried using vartoy to use {d1} in this expression to remove the first 13 characters of the parent folder but can't figure out how to do that.

VarToy does not know about folder patterns. Folder patterns are only processed by certain IMatch features.
I don't see a way to do what you want. Maybe try findreverse to find the \ and then substrr to remove a certain number of characters before the \

That's not going to work as that finds the \ for folder \Processed rather than the parent folder in \2025-07-23 ¦ White Rhino\Processed\

I think actually a simpler solution will be to make sure the Headline field is populated and then use that for the File Name in the Image Batch Processor {File.MD.headline} - {seq}

Actually that's a better solution as that allows me to have different file names within the same folder.
