Import function: custom rename templates are not saved

[closed] (2 posts)
  • Pretty much what the topic title says: everytime I use the Import function, I have to re-enter my custom naming scheme. ACDSee does save the import settings (destination and backup folders, mostly), but not the naming scheme.

    I try saving it in the Rename Templates popup, but the newly created template never shows up in the pulldown with the standard templates later.

    Also, there seems to be some strange behaviour giving a message "You cannot modify a system rename template." This when I just created a new one using the provided 'new' button. And while I'm at it, why a 'new' button here, and a 'save' button in the screen before next to the 'choose import settings' and 'organize settings' pulldowns? I feel a bit stupid now.

    Obviously, this is a bit annoying. :)

    The rename templates *are* saved, but the interface caught me by surprise at first, too.  You first hit the Edit button on the import dialog, then the New button on the rename dialog, give the new so far empty) template a name, then enter the template itself, then hit OK.  There is no "save" - simply hitting OK saves the new template, as well as making it the currently selected template back in the Import dialog.
