Name of folder as an export option

Hello,

I wish to batch export number of files with their folder name as a prefix of the filename.

For instance, If I have this hierarchy :
Packshots\Image01.NEF
Packshots\Image02.NEF
Model\Image01.NEF
Model\Image02.NEF,

I would like to export all my pictures using this format :
Packshots-Image01.jpg
Packshots-Image02.jpg
Model-Image01.jpg
Model-Image02.jpg

Is it possible ? I don't see the "folder name" option in the output naming tab.

JR.

  Well, look again, it's there. This token uses the output folder name, not the location of the raw image. So, if you output to:
  
  Jpg\Packshots\Packshots-Image01.jpg
  Jpg\Packshots\Packshots-Image02.jpg
  Jpg\Model\Model-Image01.jpg
  Jpg\Model\Model-Image02.jpg
  
  You are set with the 'folder name' token.

  Ok, I don't know where my head was as you are completely right. I cannot even understand how I could skip the "Folder Name" button.
  Whatever, thank you for your feedback, it will ease my workflow.

  Hum, I think I have found a C1Pro bug :
  
  In my process recipe, advanced tab, I select "Image folder" as the root folder.
  My output naming format is "[Folder Name]-[Image Name]".
  
  But unless I change manually in the Output naming tab the "Output To" option to the right directory (the directory where the raw is stored), the output name doesn't update (unless for the [Image name] token).
  
  Is my procedure correct ? I don't understand why C1 doesn't update the [Folder Name] token...
