Renamer / User Input - default value

[mstief]

Hello!

I like to have a default value on userinput or projectcode in the renamer.
I tried to put some value like: {File.Folder} in the field.

But when I run the renamer, the value is not executed. The value is stil {File.Folder}

What I'm doing wrong?

The project code does not support variables.
It is the base on which the {Renamer.ProjectCode} variable is based on: Project Code Variable
The Renamer automatically remembers the last value entered for project code, which fits perfectly to how this property is typically used.

OK
I was confused, cause I can choose a variable in the dialog.

You are correct. The wrong dialog is used while adding/configuring the project code and user input steps. The correct dialog is used at runtime.
Neither project code nor user input support variables so there should be no variable button visible.

Use a text step when you need support for variables. Combine a text step with a project code or user input step if you need both variables and user input.

I will fix this for the next release.
