Insert parent directory names into the file name

HI,

I am using renamer version 6.4.

I want to rename some old photos from the hard disk which i have organized long back.

for example, C:\Paris_Visit\Day1\Pic1

rename "Pic1" to "Paris_Visit#Day1#Pic1"

Please let me know if it is possible using this tool.

Cheers.

Re: Insert parent directory names into the file name

Yes, it is possible with a PascalScript rule:

var
  ParentDir1, ParentDir2: WideString;
begin
  ParentDir1 := WideExtractFileDir(FilePath);
  ParentDir2 := WideExtractFileDir(ParentDir1);
  ParentDir1 := WideExtractFileName(ParentDir1);
  ParentDir2 := WideExtractFileName(ParentDir2);
  FileName := ParentDir2 + '#' + ParentDir1 + '#' + FileName;
end.

There is also :File_FolderName: meta tag, but it gives access only to the first level parent folder name.
