P: Missing example : of how filename is to be named/created in filename template editor

[dajon0510]

Hi, Not sure if this is the correct place to ask Lightroom questions if not I apologize.  Any way is this a BUG perhaps? Just noticed ......The filename template editor when editing would show an example of what the file options that were selected would look like. (it was right above the big white box near top) Its not there anymore! WHAT? WHERE did it go? I needed to make some changes to a newly imported set of images . in short wrong info was put on 3000+ images . basicly the original raw file #..did not stay with the new filename.some how got deleted when I added new info to filename EXAMPLE WAS NOT THERE.to VIEW how file would look like. I don't have original sd card to get Raw file #s from..... Much work was done to images before I noticed Thanks so much any help would be appreciated .

Could you confirm your operating system and Lightroom version please, so we can confirm whether the filename example is missing (which would be a bug).

It appears that the example filename is not displayed for any template containing date tokens -- the example shown is for the last template that didn't contain date tokens.  Here's an example of a template with date tokens not working:



And here's an example of a template without date tokens working properly:



The example shown in the File Renaming panel also doesn't display correctly when date tokens are used.

Tested on LR CC 2015.9 / OS X 10.12.3.
