[TC 11.50] Wildcards to rename files when copying files with F5

[lz57005]

in Total Commander 11.50:

Wildcards to rename files when copying files with F5: Options to put text in front of name, or append text after name

Example files:

• MyAwesomeFile1.ext
  MyAwesomeFile2.ext
  MyAwesomeFile3.ext

F5 *postfix.* :

• MyAwesomeFile1postfix.ext
  MyAwesomeFile2postfix.ext
  MyAwesomeFile3postfix.ext

but
F5 prefix*.* :

• prefixomeFile1.ext
  prefixomeFile2.ext
  prefixomeFile3.ext

Replaces the first characters of the name rather than adding them to the beginning

This is intentional, because older versions have always behaved like this.
To prefix a string, you need to use a different syntax (from the help):
start** Text is inserted before the name, e.g. test.txt with start_**_rest.* -> start_test_rest.txt
start*? Text is inserted before the name and resets position in name, e.g. name.txt copied as start_*?do*_rest.* -> start_dome_rest.txt

So in your example, use prefix**.*

Thanks, I need to read the help more carefully.
