Addition to $(VERSION_IF_MULTI)

[diefau]

I think it would be nice if this variable could start with one (or more?) character like a '.' or '_' (or parentheses around them?) to better distinguish them from the ones without a version.

Do you mean the result of the variable substitution? In bash, one could modify the result with something like `$(VERSION_IF_MULTI/[0-9]/_&/). Perhaps that ability could be added to darktable's variable substitution code, since not everyone would agree on the best delimiter, or even whether there should be one.

$(VERSION_IF_MULTI/[0-9]/_&/)

This is already supported, see:

Oh sorry, I didn't know of the string-substitution (RTFM;-) My intention was, when the original picture name is something like this "851_6327.jpg", then the name of the first duplicate should be like this "851_6327_1.jpg" (or "851_6327(1).jpg" . I think this will be doable with the string-substitution.

I don't think the existing string substitution supports regular expressions, only fixed-string to fixed-string replacements, e.g. "IMG" to "". That's why I suggested adding that ability.
