Render Wildcards issue?

[michi.333]

I have a project with a lot of regions to render.
I named each region and use the wildcard $region.
But instead of using the name of the region there´s just a "region_01".
And it doesn´t matter, which region I choose, it´s always titled region_01.
The wildcard help explains that $region means the region name.
What am I doing wrong?
Reaper version is 4.72pre5 but it was the same with v4.71

Yes I've run into that too and found it strange. Since I've been using regions for samples and definitely want the number involved I've been using $regionnumber_name_of_sample.

To get region names in your rendered files you have to use the region render matrix afaik and set the "Render:" dropdown in the render dialog to "Region render matrix".

If you've done that already maybe post a screenshot of your render dialog settings.

Currently, in order for the region name to be used, you need to choose "project regions" as the render bounds, in the render dialog. However, this will render all regions. If you want to just render one region and get the region name in the render wildcard, you need to choose "region render matrix" in the first dropdown on the render dialog.

This is admittedly complicated. We can probably change things so if you happen to choose a time selection that exactly matches a region, you can still use the region name and number as a render wildcard.

I stand corrected...

Thanks nofish and schwa!That works!
In fact it´s a bit complicated, thought using the $region from the wildcard dropdown would be enough, but now that I know I can live with that!
Thanks a lot!

What would be great is if there were a way to render multiple tracks using the $regionnumber + &trackname and render each track to it's own folder or directory.

That would work good for multiple mic sample editing and saving.
