Thanks for the quick reply, Patrick, but that's not what I'm trying to do.

I want to batch-output a set of edited files to a subfolder using
'Export selected' in Lighttable, so that they appear as, for example,
September 2019.tif
September 2019_01.tif
September 2019_02.tif
etc

I get close with
$(FILE_FOLDER)/<subfolder>/$(EXIF_MONTH) $(YEAR)        # I insert the
actual name for <subfolder>
but EXIF_MONTH returns the numeric month not the name of the month.
