Feature request: File renaming categories

Could you please add a MMyy token to the drop-down menu choices in the the (much-appreciated) full renaming dialogue? That's all that I need.
However, if possible, could you also allow users to store a few options in the same renaming dialogue list? This could function like a limited version of Lightroom's keyword system, and so allow me to batch rename files to include frequently-used terms, as in "Filename MMyy family Bigfoot Madonna."
Thanks.

You may use /DMMyy/ pattern to get month-year token.

I don't quite understand what is meant by 'store a few option', but one may turn [ ] Enable history checkbox on and recall last 10 used patterns in dropdown via down-arrow key.

We'll consider adding MMyy and MMyyyy options to standard date format list in pre-defined dropdown

Thanks. I'm embarrassed that I didn't find that, since it's quite clear in your manual.
One more thing, though: It would be nice if the selected number sequence could restart with another parameter, such that, say, /yyMMdd/ /3 digit/ could restart the digit sequence (at 1) with each new day.

Sequence number reset at midnight makes sense.... but it is hard to implement if we assume that several FastRawViewer (process) copies can be launched on the same computer.
