Hi,

Can anyone please explain me how the new renaming special characters
code work?
It's just the %attr{ attribute name } I can't figure out how to use.
I suppose you can use stuff like mtime or so, since the %d is gone.

For example:

####-%attr{ Embedded::Photo::DateTimeOriginal }.%E

For now, you need to browse the source code to understand what codes are available...

You example doesn't work for me.
I had looked at the code but it didn't help me much.

My guess:
- extensions/rename_series/dlg-rename-series.c:get_attribute_value() calls gth_file_data_get_attribute_as_string()
- gthumb/gth-file-data.c:gth_file_data_get_attribute_as_string() does the job, like calling g_file_info_get_attribute_as_string()
- then you're on GFileInfo & GFileAttribute

I managed to get this working:
%attr{time::modified}_####%E
but time::modified gives you the seconds since 01/01/1970... not very practical... :/
