How to custom rename multiple versions from one RAW file?

I occasionally produce several versions of an image from RAW, for example, a black and white version and a color version, or different crops. The default action that C1 chooses when processing an image (when there is already an image in the process folder by the same name) is to append a sequential number to the end of the file.

This default works fine in many situations, but I often add a sub name to the end of the filename when converting from RAW. I would like to be able to add the sequential version number to the end of the original file name, but before the sub name. Is this possible in C1?

  Hello
  
  In the processing tab click on Advanced. Here you can add both sub folder structure and sub name for the individual destination.

  Thank you. I use this function regularly. But my question remains: is possible to have the version number appear between the filename base and the sub name?
  
  Let's say I'm processing an image named: "TSmith_071004_2877.CR2"
  
  Under the Processing tab, in Advanced mode, in the Sub name box I have entered "_Master" and in the Sub folder have entered "Masters". The resulting name for the TIF produced is "TSmith_071004_2877_Master.TIF" and it is saved in the session folder > Processed > Masters.
  
  Now, if I make another TIF from the same RAW file (say, with a different crop) and save it in the same folder (because I want all of my Masters in the same folder) the result will be: "TSmith_071004_2877_Master2.TIF"
  
  I would like to have the option for the name to be: "TSmith_071004_2877_2_Master.TIF. Is this possible using C1 Software?
  
  The reason I ask is that I later truncate the name in my workflow to add other sub names (for example, I may save a 600px JPG version of the image and rename it like this: "TSmith_071004_2877_2_E600.JPG"). This is accomplished easily when the version number "2" is not at the end of the file, because I can simply truncate the name and add the new suffix.
  
  Thanks,
  Todd
