So I have some collections where I have arranged the pictures in a specific sequence that derivates from the sequence the pictures were taken in (which means the file names will be mixed up). If I export them using the original filename as the new filename, they will show up on the harddrive in their original order (since they are ordered by name by the OS), not in the order they are in in the collection.
I'm trying to create a preset that will allow me to use a custom name along with a sequential number. So far, this is my Filename Template:
{Custom Text}_{Sequence # (01)»}
This works fine if I export the entire collection. In the export dialog, I can write e.g. some_name
as the Custom Text and it will export the pictures as some_name_01
, some_name_02
, et c. However, if I want to export single images from the collection, it always starts the number sequence at #01. So if I select the eight image in my collection and export it, it will export not as some_name_08
, but as some_name_01
, creating a conflict between that image and the actual first one.
Is there a way to create a preset that allows me to use a Custom Text along with a sequential numbering that will produce consistent filenames when exporting the entire collection or any subset of it?
