It seems that when directly renaming files using the new filenaming syntax in 7.0.1, Maya will automatically append a "_tmp" string to the end of the filename when "%c" is used.
For example, if the filename is "/u/user/renders/file_%c_%4n.%e", then the filename would turn out to be "/u/user/renders/file_camera_0001_tmp.ext". If the camera flag is not used, such as "/u/user/renders/files_%4n.%e", then the file would go under the the folder "$Project_Dir/images/u/user/renders/files_0001.ext". Sucks eh.
The workaround for now is only to correct the "_tmp" by renaming everything using a shell/batch script. ( Or don't use %c at all and have everything saved under $Project_dir/images ).
I don't recall seeing this problem in 7.0. Could this be something that's introduced by the 7.0.1 patch?
