that may work on the output files... but the preview area still shows the index starting at "1"... so using the above fix causes the preview to show the first file to rename as "2" when it outputs it as "1" (when using the above workaround)... these two should be consistent... and as I noted above, it should be the same as the converter...

$add(%list_index%,1)
and um, the %list_index% for the playlist under ColumnsUI actually starts at 1 instead of 0
what I mean is...
1) I highlight all the tracks in a certain album...
2) right-click and choose "file operations > move, copy or rename files"
3) in the menu to choose output format the preview window shows the correct %list_index% value...
4) however, the output files get numbered starting from "00" as opposed to the previews "01"...
5) using your above work around the preview starts with "02" as the first track but outputs that track as "01"...
does this make it a little more clear as to where I'm running into the issue...?
It'd probably help if some tried my above method to see if it happens to them (for testing purposes you could just change it to "copy" the files instead of renaming your existing ones - it has the same behavior)
