Naming of output files in catalogs

Hi,

I created my first catalog and after importing the images I renamed them using batch rename with my saved template.
However, when I am later on exporting my images to Photoshop and want to use the image name my output file will be renamed to the original file name that my camera creates. To date I have not find the correct output option making sure that my TIFF has the same name like my renamed image in Capture One.

Another thing that I have not found out yet is how to move thrashed images back into the catalog. I can drop them back into my catalog. All images now show 186 files where as my catalog only shows 185 files.

Any other than that the version runs almost stable on both of my Macs (MBP and MacPro with Mountain Lion).

  Regarding the rename>process/export issue, I can confirm this and have reported this to Phase One. This is one hell of a bug!
  
  Regarding trash: you can not recover an image back to the catalog. The dialog you get when deleting is clear about that (but at first hand I did not expect they were serious). Your ultimate recover is to export (File, Export, Originals) the trashed image and import it again.
  
  Regarding the different numbers between All Images (=186) and Catalog (=185), that can have different causes.
  a) you have imported images while leaving the in their current location (not storing in the catalog); you can browse under the Folders section, HD until you come to the folder; result = the All Images number is higher than the Catalog number.
  b) you have created new/clone variants of your images; this will up the Catalog count but not the All Images count; result = the All Images number is lower than the Catalog number.
  
  Note: not sure whether b) is a bug; I'll contact Phase One on this.

  Any fix for this yet? This is a major hassle. To restate the problem...
  
  I rename images in CO7 catalog and then export with the "Image Name" option in the "Format" field in the "output naming" toolbox. All images are exported with the originally create file names regardless of what I have renamed them to within the catalog.
  
  I really need a fix for this now.
