When renaming files the %c option can append an auto-incremented number to the filename to avoid possible collisions. If %-c is used, the number is prefixed with a leading '-'. However, using %_c doesn't work. Can the leading character be any other than '-'?
Many thanks in advance.

%c format would not be consistent with my parsing of other format
codes. However, the '+' sign is not currently used and could be
applied for this purpose (ie. "%+c"). I know it isn't quite as logical as
the '_', but it is more consistent from an interface point of view.
I have updated the
6.80 pre-releasewith this feature, and it will appear in the official versions when
released.
