Renaming help

Hello all. I recently tried CO8 out on a recent photo trip to Blue Ridge Mountains for both import and sorting/processing. I usually use LR for my importing, sorting and renaming. I usually use a naming sequence in LR like YYMMDD_JobName_Camera Suffix #. The suffix number being the image number given to the file by the camera. Been using it for years and works good for me. Well I thought I had created a naming template in CO8 to do the same thing. Got the date and job name tokens but the original file name one did not work. Not sure if maybe I chose the wrong token or if CO8 just isn't capable of doing what I want. If it is capable of doing what I want, could someone please explain to me how to do it. I did a search here and couldn't find any info on how to do it. In case it is a camera type issue, I am using a Canon 5DM3 and my son was using my old Canon 30D. Thanks in advance.

So you want on import rename files based on template you need to use "Image name" token instead of Original Filename as Original Filename token is used only during EXPORT.

Hope that helps 😊
