Anyone having issue with the way the file renaming works within 2017? In prior versions of PP, I was able to rename sequences quickly within the project window by selecting a sequence, hitting enter, pasting a copied house number, adding an incremental number, then hit "Enter" to move to the next sequence below still in renaming mode. This was of great benefit, as I was able to apply house numbers to a large number of versions before transcoding export quite quickly. ie, To rename a number of sequences with a series of house numbers (UB10501-UB10505) I would do the following: Select Sequence to change <enter> type "UB10501" highlight and copy text "UB105" <enter> <ctrl-p> 02 <enter> <ctrl-p> 03 <e <ctrl-p> 04 <enter> <ctrl-p> 05 Using this technique, I could rename a batch of 120 sequence versions (a regular occurrence in my workflow) in under 5 minutes. NOW IN PP2017, if you paste a text string while in renaming mode, and hit enter, it no longer moves to the next sequence in renaming mode, it just commits the renaming and takes you out of renaming mode. This may seem like a small behavior difference, but considering that our workflow (broadcast promotions) requires creation of multiple versions of the same spot,that must have a unique house number applied before transcoding, this is a deal breaker, as it will take much longer than previous to rename our sequences before export. Anybody aware of a workaround or alternate way of doing things to get around this? I'd like to move our group to 2017 to start taking advantage of team projects (getting us back to the collaborative functionality we had years ago with another editing solution), but as it stands, I will have to keep our team on 2015.4 until a fix is made. Thanks in advance, B.
