Retain original camera manufacturer’s filenumber:

When one renames images in Capture One it would be very useful if C1 could also retain the original filenumber that the camera manufacture gave that file. The camera’s filenumber could be retained in the metadata even after C1 renames the file. This is helpful to avoid any confusion and search for images when the photographer and retoucher might end up with images that have been renamed between drives or uploads.

  In Nikon digital camera settings you can replace the "DSC" with any 3 alphanumeric characters.  I use my 2 initials + a single character to indicate the camera that shot the image.  That way, when I see an image number I also know immediately what camera it came from.

  You could, for example, set your camera to prefix each image with "WPR" as in the example in the linked feature request.  True, this would include the three letters with the actual image number, as in "WPR_1234.NEF" but there is benefit to that.

  I upvoted the feature request anyway, as I do see the benefit of being able to extract just the numeric portion of an image name and insert it in the metadata.
