Unable to select previously applied New Format on Rename Window

Post by mike_bjb5wtkuwg »

Version: 1.5.0.1326a
Impact: Low (Annoyance)

1. Display a list of files in the main window
2. Select multiple files
3. Hit F2
4. Input new format - In my case "<formatfiletime:$date-taken:,yyMMddHHmmss>-$size:"
5. Hit OK
6. Repeat steps 1-3
7. Try to select the previous format in a new format input via the dropdown arrow

You will see that the format is cut into two separate options on the dropdown list:
<formatfiletime:$date-taken:
yyMMddHHmmss>-$size:

Since choosing one of the options is clearing everything that was previously in the input, it is impossible to first select option 1 and then option 2.

This forces me to have a notepad open and copy-paste the format every time I need to make a name change.

Thank you for the bug report mike_bjb5wtkuwg,

Rename format history has been broken since group policy support was added (1325a)

Sorry for the inconvenience.

This will be fixed in the next alpha update.

I'll make another post here once its ready for testing.

Everything 1.5.0.1332a fixes an issue with saving the old/new formats.
