Publish File renaming is glitching - will only publish Title, won't append file numbers

[bill south oz]

G'day All,

I've been publishing to Flickr straight out of Lightroom for years and for the first time the automatice file renaming system is failing me.

I'm running the latest version -- 14.2 -- of LRC in Win 11

When I attempt to publish photos now the file naming dialogue has no impact on the published title of the image, which will only be the title of the image in LRC. When I go to customise settings in file naming and choose 'rename to' and edit to, say, 'Name of location - year - Filename Number Suffix

When I attempt to publish photos now the file naming dialogue has no impact on the published name of the image, which I've discovered will now only be the Title of the image as shown in LRC library.

When I go to customise settings in the Publish file naming dialogue and choose 'rename to' and edit to, say, 'Name of location or job - month year - { Filename Number Suffix }' -- my go to method for years! -- for about a week now the renaming has been failing. Only the Title is published.

I've tried publishing from other catalogues in case this was a glitch in just one. It is not.

I've tried customising the file name to '{ Title } { Filename Number Suffix }'. This does not work. The number is still absent. Choosing { Original Number Suffix } as an alternative makes no difference, either.

Currently the only way I can uniquely name a file to be published online out of LRC is to manually change it in Title. Not good.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have a job right now that requires my publishing hundreds of images, and renaming 'by hand' is not a viable prospect!
