{Folder name[~ ~-]}-# not working

[KoolPal]

Hi,

Perhaps I am unable to get this right - so please bear with me

I am using XnConvert Portable Version 1.106.0 - windows x64 (Oct 12 2025) - Libformat version 7.228

I am trying to get output as {Folder name[~ ~-]}-# - meaning - replace space with hyphen for naming the output files

I checked

You can replace a word by another by using [~xxx~xxx]

eg.

• {Filename [~img~out]} => out_example_105

from viewtopic.php?t=48554

as well as tried to understand from viewtopic.php?t=47074

What I see - example
Folder name = Downloaded Photos

If I use just {Folder name}-# - I get
Downloaded Photos-1.jpg
Downloaded Photos-2.jpg

If I change it to
{Folder name [~ ~-]}-# - I get
-1.jpg
-2.jpg

What am I doing wrong here?

Is there any other way to get folder and replace space with hyphen using

Please guide.

Thanks a lot.

Hi.

Thanks. Would you kindly update XnConvert with this fix too? We use only XnConvert as that is all that is required for occassional use.

Thanks again!

[xnview]

yes soon

Thanks a lot.

We will await that fix in XnConvert as we don't use XnView MP - it is an overkill for our needs.

Really appreciate your good work! Best wishes!
