Let the Serialize command add a separator before/after the number
[I am sure that I had raised this issue earlier, but it vanished. Posting again..]
The Serialize command can generate a number.
The most frequent use for this is generate a number as prefix or suffix.
(See the two examples at the bottom)
But one thing is sure:
The number will never be added directly to the original name: It will definitely need a separator character (space, a hyphen etc.)
Further, depending on the usage, we need this separator before (or after) the number.
It would be great if the command has a built-in facility to add this space.
(I know the same can be achieved by using the Insert command, but a self-contained command is better.)
Example-1: Add serial numbers as prefix
01 <OriginalFileName 1>
02 <OriginalFileName 2>
03 <OriginalFileName 3>
04 <OriginalFileName 4>
In this example, the space is needed AFTER the serialized numbers.
Example-2: Add serial numbers as suffix
<OriginalFileName 1> 01
<OriginalFileName 2> 02
<OriginalFileName 3> 03
<OriginalFileName 4> 04
In this example, the space is needed BEFORE the serialized numbers.
To conclude, please allow the user to specify a single character as separator for the first two options of the command (prefix and suffix)
* If the user selects the "prefix" option, the separator appears after the number
* If the user selects the "suffix" option, the separator appears before the number

Re: Let the Serialize command add a separator before/after the number
It might be best to add a generic separator field, which could be inserted appropriately for different Insert options.
Added to the list, but with a low priority.
