Batch Rename Removing File Extention

When you select Metadata as a filename option and use Aperture, it deletes the file extension. None of the other Metadata options generate this problem.

As a teacher, this is an early assignment in the semester and it's very discouraging when your students batch rename and lose all of their images.

    I can't reproduce this on a Mac... However, using a colon character is not a good idea for filenames as this can be an illegal character and having more than one period in a filename may confuse some operating systems or programs as to what the file extension may be..
