Changing Variant Name

I know that this has been discussed before, but this is still a painful deficiency of C1.

All I want to do is rename a cloned variant - that has a different set of edits: for example a different crop or color treatment.  

Please fix this.

  To clarify the details like an armchair programmer: currently an image in a C1 catalog has a (file)NAME, variants of the this image have NUMBERS (which are also tokens that can be used to name the output file).

  So CaptureOne would need to:

  • either change the existing <variant number> to a <variant text token>
  • or, better, add an additional <variant-name> field

  This new token would have to be exposed to the user for easy input, maybe in the browser, right under the filename. And also in the metadata tab.

  As a plan B - I add the image details into the Keywords field. So if variant #2 is a 4x5 crop - I enter 4x5 as a keyword.  It's an OK work around. 

  The only tricky part is that I have to export it with a different name - so I know what rev it is.
