Convert | Filename - Filename can give the wrong result, e.g.

Old filename pattern: %1\%2\%3  
New filename pattern: %1\%2\%3

should give

"S:\TINDT ctango\02480002922629\1\1.wma" -\>  
"S:\TINDT ctango\02480002922629\1\1.wma"

but instead gives

"S:\TINDT ctango\02480002922629\1\1.wma" -\>  
"S:\TINDT ctango\02480002922629\02480002103028\1\1.wma"

i.e. duplicates %1.

%1\%2 does not suffer from this.
