Default FR: Extra Wildcards - $AltProject $Global $ProjectGroup

Super Simple FR

Extra wildcards for rendering.

1). An alternative project name - $AltProject
2). A static global label - $Global

2 or 3 of each could be useful.

My project name NEVER bears any resemblance to the filename I send to my clients. An $AltProject name would be perfect. And a global based wildcard I could use for the company name (which I include as part of a filename for clients).

Slightly more advanced option... Project Group wildcards.
Wildcards for a collection of projects.

In use, this could be ALBUM, FILM, TV SHOW, CLIENT etc

Case example:

I have a client, I'm working on an advert for one of their products, delivering multiple assets.
Using $Global1 $ProjectGroup1 $AltProject1 $Region to give
MyCompanyName MyClientName TheirProduct AssetName
To give: Pandoramuzak ConglomerateRadioCompanyX RadioStationY 30sLOOP

A wildcard pattern I can use over and over again!

Cheers for listening

Whether or not it was due to this request, we have $Title

Thank you devs

Project Group Wildcards - next, please hehehe. Unless there is another way that projects are linked together... a text file (or alias to text file) in the same folder as the .RPP file that defines the $wildcards

Default text:
$Album=""
$Client=""
$Film=""

Of course, it could just be completely blank and we define our own $wildcards

Thanks
