So, why not use the Julian style naming convention, i.e., September 2019
would be 201909, etc.? That would be easier for sorting, too.

I'm sure the answer must be obvious, but I'm struggling to find the
right variable to use as a placeholder in 'Export selected' so that
the output filename has the form MonthName-Year (e.g.
September-2019.tif).
I'd be grateful for advice about the right variable to use to insert
the month in the form of the full word for the month name. (Preferably
the EXIF month, but the current month would do if that's not
possible.)
I alter *all* filenames on import,
exiv2 \-k \-r %y%m%d_%H%M%S_:basename: \.\/*.{nef,jpg}'
so export will appear as 190910_192003_aaa_3768.jpg and original was
AAA_3768.NEF
adjust as desired.
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.
so change the vars to reflect your desires, but the "Month" will be
numerical.
man exiv2
