Replace (3): allow use of <folder>

It would be very useful to be able to use the <folder> tag in Replace (3).

Replace (3) > Replace is where I think it would be especially useful.

E.g. I have a lot of files in folders where I want to prefix the filename with the folder name; however, if the folder name is already somewhere else in the filename then I want to remove it so there is no redundant information. Being able to match something like " <folder>" and replacing with nothing, at the same time as prefixing the folder name, would be great.

Similar with RegEx (1) > Match.
