the{iseq}counter for renaming folders resets at 65536 to 00000

[g]

hi!
i recently bought photo mechanic plus and started setting up the ingestion counter. the one very important feature i wanted in photo mechanic was the counter since i have been using the picture project application by Nikon to ingest photos and its counter runs past 75000. i would like to replace picture project with photo mechanic.

When ingesting, the counter shows 065537 in the dialog box. but the folder that gets created is named as 00000. and from there on, the issue continues. This can be easily replicated by setting the folder sequence number to 065537 and ingesting. the folder will be named as 00000.

this looks like a bug and it makes the software useless for me until gets fixed. please help!

We will look into using an integer type that can represent higher values. At the moment the best workaround I can think of is to place a 6 in front of the {iseq} variable and then set the folder sequence field to 5537, and then replace the 6 with a once the folder sequnce gets to 9999. If we can make the change to allow for higher values it will be noted in the readme/release notes of the update where the change is made.

Thanks! would you have any idea on the priority this fix is going to get?

We've made a build that should address this for you. This build has not gone through our typical QA process, and therefore may contain uncaught issues that we would typically identify before release, however I did test the folder sequence variable with this build and it is working for values greater than 65535
