EasyTag cannot rename a file by appending to that file's current name, because it is missing a Legend variable for "current file name".

We need to add another Legend variable (perhaps %c) to represent the file's current file-name (not including the file's extension of course). If we had a variable such as this, we could rename files by appending tag data to the current file name.

I have hundreds of files whose current names are date strings not included in their tag info; I simply want to append the title (found only in the tag) to the already existing file name. This impossible, however, because EasyTags Legend doesn't provide a variable to represent the file's current name in a renaming mask. The only option it provides would require me to lose that desired string, and replace it with strings that are exclusively provided in the tags.
