does renaming using meta data from the image converter window not function as it does in the rename window?? i think there might be bug in there. unless I'm missing something? using these settings... ![image](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/d/7/d7eab7c6a2e3b30ce70e5c07424089b2aa98b463.jpeg) the filenames I'm getting... with regular expression off > whiskey creek fire\_SM\_{picwidth}x{picheight}.png if i tick the - Use regular expression option with that string in the new name box, it doesn't see it at all. the file name stays the same, less the `.jpg` to `.png` extension change. I've tired moving that string through both rename boxes with RegEx on and off and name just keeps doing this... ![image](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/d/6/d6fe7e2133989e7d21eb2a28fad9dddcdb11158b.png) * * * furthermore i made a **rename preset** that adds `*_{picwidth}x{picheight}` to an existing image name. `Rename PATTERN=* TO=*_{picwidth}x{picheight} IGNOREEXT` so if apply this to the name above i adds the suffix as well as seeing & converting the existing {brackets} placed there from the image converter window. > whiskey creek fire\_SM\_450x600\_450x600.png ---

It's not a bug. It's something that has never been supported there. The _Add filename suffix_ checkbox can add dimensions to the filename. ---

as i was trying to save a couple qucik 1 click presets, i came up with this button mixing the two presets! 🙂 ```auto Image CONVERT=png PRESET="w1920 HD ReSize - Convert PNG" HERE Rename PRESET=img_Resized_WxH ``` ---

Whilst working with a batch of photos that I want to compress and rename to include a shooting time prefix I came across this restriction. Like @xavierarmand I assumed that the rename component of the two dialogs would work the same way. The button he provided is a valid workaround but it would be nice (and consistent) if the rename option worked here the same way as it does in a Rename preset.
