Batch Rename fails when filename has a dot in addition to the dot for the extension

Explorer ,
Aug 28, 2025 Aug 28, 2025

When trying to rename files, if the filename already includes a dot, bridge would rename the file and trim the extension. For example if I wanted to add a sequence to the filename:

Filename:  PXL_20250817_063001570.NIGHT.jgp

Would be renamed to 01_PXL_20250817_063001570.NIGHT

Bridge is obviously confusing the dot in the name and the dot that separates the extension.

I have tried String Substitution to remove the dot in the file name but the problem is that String Substitution only has the option of "Original Filename" and "Intermediate Filename" and they both include the extension. I wish we had 2 more options "Original Filename and Extension" and "Intermediate Filename and Extension". So that the current options WOULD NOT include the extension.
