In the project settings you can just decide how many digits the filename for media should be used. Standard is 8.

For the most institutes working with Kitodo this is probably enough for their workflow. However in our case we use "speaking" filenames. So renaming objects in Kitodo is not an option at the moment.

Describe the solution you'd like
But some configurable values or variables could help us. A little similar to the batchrenaming with irfanview.
An Example could be: $processname_#### ; where # stands for the a digit so 4# would be 4 digit long numeric counting.
Or $processid_# where # is used for the setting above.

Maybe you could use variables that are defined in the ruleset so you can use stuff like bibliographic-IDs? If not, processid and processname would work well enough for us.

Additional context
At the moment we name media with an Script. Is there an error like a missing scan or double scanned pages, we put the process back to the scanning process! Then change the Scans, rename the files via irfanview and restart the process.
It would be easier if we could do this in Kitodo without all these external steps.
