I know that variables - which can be user-defined - can be used in the renamer. My question is whether it's possible to have that variable be incremented by a random x-char(s)-length integer or text-string, instead of just incrementing by 1 digit?
No.
If you really need such a string, maybe experiment with substr with a start and/or length set from the current time (seconds) and a long string of random characters (length >= 60), likle

A clever idea! :)
I do not know, for what Darius this want, but this idea, where to start, is very clever.
That's an old programming trick. Very fast, and easy to implement. Should work nicely with IMatch variables, too.

A bit old here, but Mario, I wanted only to say, you ideas and tricks and new variables helps often a lot.
I used your random-trick (with actual time) to put randomly some photos in D&P and further I used your timediff-variable to create some interesting time-data.
Added one page, where you can see this.
Thanks for you hard work always!
Very neat!
The new duration variable function in the next release will make this easier.
