1277: <Original Date> & <Added> oddities [#6904]
Messing around with the Auto-Organize mask, I've come across two placeholders that aren't documented, but are giving odd results. "<Original Date>" is mapping to the Added time, and that led me to try "<Added>" which is mapping to... a "T." Regardless of the file I try, I constantly get a single T from the "<Added>" placeholder. Anyone else getting these oddities in Build 1277?

Confirmed in 1277.
One other oddity <Added> sometimes maps to "<Added>", i.e. bad mask, e.g. "\<Original Date><Added>"

Thanks--copied to the 'Bug Reports' forum to deal with post 3.1.2 (since these aren't actually supported fields yet).

Re: 1277: <Original Date> & <Added> oddities
Shouldn't these at least be disabled asap, even if there are plans to properly implement them in a future build? People don't always read the documentation and thus may not see that these aren't supposed to exist. There's a request in the Wishlist forum for an "<Original Year>" mask, so I think it's certainly possible that someone may stumble upon "<Original Date>" through trial and error looking for a way to use their Original Date information. That would lead them to finding this behavior, which if they don't pay close attention to the preview, could lead to some undesirable filenames.
