Really basic file rename question (Sorry)
MikeCaine:
I've now reached IMG_9999.CR2 and the count has reset to IMG_0001.CR2
When I'm ingesting how to I automatically prefix the numerical part of the file name with a 1?
Thanks
Mike

Generally you rename with the {seqn} (Sequence) variable.
What is an example of the final filename that you're shooting for? That will help me answer your question.

Hi Kirk
I'd like to keep numbering in sequence so ideally after IMG_9999.CR2 I'd like IMG_10000.CR2, IMG_100001.CR2 etc
Thanks
Mike

Then you can set the sequence variable to 10000 to start. Select your 0001+ images and rename them like this:
IMG_{seqn}
That's it.

Thanks Kirk, now sorted.
I see there's a manual available now, I'll read that.
BTW - How do you know when your one year's worth of updates are up? I'm trying to figure out if I can still install the latest version
Thanks
Mike
