Files with same names after rename - Prevent Duplicates

[Khankhra]

Hi!
Help me, please. I look at "Operations Manual" and try search in forum, but don't find answer, because my English not so good.

I rename with "Auto Date (8)" [YMD] and the app don't rename some files, because they were created in same day and, of course, have same name. I don't want use "hours" and "minutes".
Can I get files like "2022.06.23_1", "2022.06.23_2"...."2022.06.23_99".

Now app does not rename and does not add this extra "..._1"
Thank you very much!

Renaming Options | Prevent Duplicates

Prevent Duplicates Format

When enabled, the Prevent Duplicates option allows to you to overcome the situation whereby a rename would fail because a file with the same name already exists: if you try to rename a file, and there's already a file with the same name, the software will make a subsequent attempt to rename the file but with a "_1" suffix. If this fails, it will try with "_2" as the suffix, and will continue up to "_99". The limit of 99, and the separator character underscore (_) are used by default.

You can change the default format that is used to prevent duplicates.

To change the format, enable the option Prevent Duplicates in the Renaming Menu. A message will be shown that the option is now enabled, and clicking on "Change Format" will open a further dialog where you can specify the format string.
