Duplicate selected file and rename

Hello everyone!

Is there a rename script/expression/button I can use to duplicate the selected file and rename it to “folder_preview.ext” (retains original extension). I would use it on both video and image files.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thank you!

There's a button. The command is Copy DUPLICATE. But for one file at a time:

Aufnahme008

I tried that, but I was hoping for something that didn’t prompt for the new name, but rather always named it “folder_preview”...

Try this in a button (or hotkey or menu item):

@firstfileonly
copy duplicate pattern="{file|noext}*" as="folder_preview*"
