Do we support renaming the HEIC file from Timer? with reading its Exif metadata?

If MediaInfo can read the metadata, then you can use the {image} binding:

EDIT:

FileBot r8280 adds *.heic as known image file type extension.

Does it look like HEIC is not supported?

FileBot r8219 and prior indeed do not recognize *.heic as a known image file type extension.


EDIT:

Though that might be somewhat unrelated to the file dialog shown in your screenshot. Since I don't know which button you clicked to open that particular file dialog, I also don't know why it doesn't allow you to select images.

I was just clicked the "load" button to open the file selector. Wondering what info can help us investigate this?

btw: I think I'm already on r8280.

FileBot has many Load buttons. The most commonly used Load button is Rename ➔ Original Files ➔ Load which accepts all extensions so all I know is that you're definitely not using that one. :lol:

Thinking is good. Knowing is better. Please read How to Request Help for details on how you can see what exact version of FileBot you're using. ;)

here's one example, I'm just trying to adjust the format and using "Change Sample File", in where I cannot select the file from both NAS and local drive.

I see. If you're in Episode Mode, then it won't let you select non-video files.

What happens if you open the Format Editor in File Mode? In any case, newer revisions better support HEIC and this particular file dialog will now allow you to select any type of file.

Oh, right. Then it is just my bad habit. I normally don't change the mode that much (episode or movie or pic/file). Will pay some attention. Thanks!😃
