[BBD] Renamer - Full Path (or not)

[OffPeak]

No idea if this is a bug or not, but when running the RENAMER with the FULL PATH box unchecked, the FULL PATH doesn't show up in the RENAMER screen, but does show up in the text dump.

I searched for mention of this, and couldn't find anything.

I don't understand.
What's a renamer screen or a text dump?
This option hides the full path name in the preview so you can see the file names better. That seems to be working in your screen shot?

Yes, it works in the renamer preview screen.

What I mean by "text dump" is:
  deselect "full path";
  click in the preview screen;
  hit cntl-A to highlight all;
  click the COPY button;
  paste to NotePad or Excel.

When I pasted, all filenames showed the full path.
(So it's not the same as the renamer preview screen.)

In Excel, it's easy enough to copy the unwanted part of thefull path info from one entry into "Find & Replace", and replace all with null to get just the filename.

When I pasted, all filenames showed the full path.

That's the intended behavior. This is just a convenience feature in the very rare case a user wants to copy the file names from the preview.

If you want to import file names into Excel, consider using the text export module or the Copy Data app. These can do everything you want.
