Well, I dont know if you are misunderstanding anything- but perhaps for
whatever reason we arent seeing the same result.

It is possible there is a bug where if there are 10 entries in history, it
simply stops appending or reordering. 

In my instance, I have exactly 10 items in the history list, which I believe is
the hard-coded limit. If I create some new pattern, it isnt added to the list.
If I hit F2 for a single file, and select say, Item 3, from the list, annd OK
that, the list on next access doesnt show former item 3 as item 1- it remains
as item 3 in the list. 

I dont see a way in the dialog box, or in the System-wide Settings, to either
clear this history, or to configure it to shed items from the list etc.

So yea, perhaps there is just some weird thing going on with history once 10
items are persisted.

I think I'm misunderstanding something. The most recently used renaming pattern
is always at the top. If you select and apply a pattern from the middle of the
list, that pattern will be first in the next renaming.

Well, as I see it, there isnt anything wrong with the history approach per se.
The problem with the implementation is that its not listed as most recent. It
is listed as chronological- as a function of when that pattern was created. So,
re-using it for a single image doesnt move that pattern to the top of the
history box, which is not at all typical for a file history/recents
implementation. And so looking through a list of potentially similar patterns,
especially if you have a single image in a directory where you dont have
reference to the 'standard' being used for that branch or tree, seems like it
could be more user friendly. Could the history box be sorted by last used, so
that it is more like a recents/history vs something like an alphabetical
listing of export formats etc?

This is the then Bug 211060. Andi Clemens explained the single filename in a
comment at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211060#c8

And here is the code:

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/core/utilities/advancedrename/advancedrenamedialog.cpp?ref_type=heads#L330

Here the pattern is deleted so that it is not included in the history:

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/core/utilities/advancedrename/advancedrenamedialog.cpp?ref_type=heads#L362

And no, no additional option to complicate things even further. It's either/or.

Perhaps a better approach then would be to include a checkbox to the left of
the template/rename box, where you have a conventional rename box and the
existing variant, with one or the other hidden based on the state of the check
box. Simply force the checkbox to selected if multiple files were selected. The
checkmark could just be 'Template Mode' or something like that...

No history is saved for a single image. It's only added to the history after
two or more images.

In my workflow, it's actually the case that my individual renaming is usually
drastically different from group renaming, and I don't need it in the history.
This behavior was probably even requested as a bug report.

Developing an option to delete history entries is something to consider.

Im not following. If I have to manually select from the history pulldown the
template to apply, and that is the most recent template, it doesnt add
additional history entries. In fact, it doesnt change the order of history- it
seems to simply identify that the template exists in history, so any further
history op is aborted. Shouldnt the history box reflect the order of template
use as most recent to least?

Regardless, in any context- if I pull down history, or paste in the template
manually from the clipboard, or recreate it manually, the net result is the
same- no change to the history pulldown. Worse, the case where there is an
addition is if I get the template wrong. There doesnt seem to be an easy way to
delete a template usage from the history list (at least not in that modal
window), so seems to be having one that is not wanted simply adds more chance
for inconsistency.

I remember this being reported as a bug before. But it's intentional.
Individual renames aren't meant to flood the rename history.
As I said, it was definitely programmed that way.
Gilles, if you want to change it, just say so.

Tested under MacOS and behavior is fully reproducible with 8.7.0...
