Hi


EditNewName=<[YMD].txt - What does the "<" sign mean?


What to do to place the cursor position when creating the file name before the extension .txt?

Try it yourself and you will see the effect ;-)
The "<" sign means, that the following text is not plain text "[YMD]" but interpreted as current date as: year month day

While the editbox with the filename is shown press SHIFT-F6 again. This will mark the filename without extension only.

< is not valid character for name !
So it is used to signal usage of fields [] to rename ...
