I'm a new user, sorry. Thethering a Fuji GFX 50R, I can't find the way to rename the imagefiles created with a <text>+<sequence nr.>: in LR there's apparently no command, renaming in the file system breaks the link with the LR miniatures. Any suggestion? Thanks

The Tether Capture Setup dialog has a 'Naming' panel where you can select from any Rename Preset you may have defined. The photos are renamed as they Import to the Catalog from the camera.

 

And your Rename Preset could be something like-

Many thanks, WobertC. Actually, my problem raises AFTER that: when a shoot is saved according to my template e.g. CustomText_003.jpg, I need to rename that single imagefile as CustomText_003r.jpg, and THIS seems impossible: no LC RENAME command visible (i.e. F2, OR mouse right click+menu, etc.), AND if I rename the file in  Explorer (file system) LC says for that miniature "file not found".

If I understand your situation correctly, the renaming you want to do can be done using the Metadata pane in Library. With a single image selected you can simply select and edit the file name. With multiple images selected the file name field will show "<mixed>" and clicking on it will bring up a dialog to rename multiple images using naming templates (Just make sure you have the menu item Metadata>Show Metadata for Target Photo Only deselected if you want to rename multiple images)
