Author Topic: Using backslashes in custom fields for file renaming doesnt work anymore  (Read 881 times)

Hi Everyone,

I used to do the following: I saved appropriate path location in custom tags, like [Folder Video] is an expression set to \Video\ifelse(...) etc.

I used these custom tags to rename move and copy files for various tasks, so files end up in the appropriate folder. However, since a while I have been unable to do so: All backslashes that come from a [Tag] are converted to underscores by the "rename, move and copy files" dialog. I guess the imlementation changed, what is the proper way now to do what I used to do?

I'm humbly bumping this - the behaviour is identical on all three machines I use. I would really appreciate any help!

I think you can do:
Replace([Name], _, \)

To undo the replacement and switch it back.
