Hi Kirk
The renumbering is being done using the copy command. We ingest the photos using the original file numbers, then caption, keyword and delete the rejects. Next we use the copy command selecting 'Move Photos (delete originals)' and 'Rename copied photos as:' to move the photos from our ingest folder into the folder for the event we are covering. This will work fine for several ingests on the same day but the following day (i.e.) following a date change, the sequence number will have reset to zero.
FYI we are using MacBook Pro's with OS X 10.4.6
I now realize this should have been a support request rather than a feature request - sorry
Peter
