v0.84: Batch rename/name template issues

Hi,

I'm looking for hints and tips with the batch rename function. There are at least three things that may have some bugs (or I try to use them the wrong way).

1. When using the batch rename feature i have the problem that the option "Create new name template when opening dialog" doesn't seem to work anymore. The checkbox is checked but the template always stays at #### no matter what file names my images have.
   
2. Before I updated to v0.84 the name template feature worked though this function was working a bit different than I was used to coming from XnView Classic
   
   

   Example file names:
   2017.01 - 01 Visit to Paris.jpg
   2017.01 - 02 Visit to Paris.jpg
   2017.01 - 03 Visit to Paris.jpg
   
   XnView Classic:
   Template: 2017.01 - ## Visit to Paris.jpg
   Start: 1
   
   XnView MP
   Template: ####.01 - 01 Visit to Paris.jpg
   Start: 2017

   
   
   I think you can understand why I preferred the classic way...
   
3. If I try to go through the history of all my name templates with the cursor down key I can only change between list entry 1 and 2 allthough there are more than 10 entries in the dropdown box. Is this a bug or am I missing a special hotkey?

Thank you for your help!
