Sequence Variables with Set amount of Zero-padding
« on: April 07, 2023, 09:01:49 AM »
It would be really great to have sequence variables that are zero padded a certain amount: say {seqn0000} or something for a sequence padded to 4 zeros (0)s

This would really help with setting up snapshots to rename for a specific naming formula

When you use the {seqn} variable, it starts with whatever the current sequence value is set to in PM.  If you set the Sequence value to 00001 (e.g in the rename dialog) then {seqn} will have the 4-place padding.

Right, I am just looking for a shortcut to avoid entering the sequence number dialog when using snapshots.
