Setting a Counter value, increment, decrement

Setting a Counter value

You can set a value to start from for the selected counter (i.e., Capture or Import). Note that the Camera Counter can not be altered.

1. From the Next Capture Naming tool, click on the Action menu, the (…) icon, located at the top-right corner of the tool’s title bar. The Action menu dialog opens.
   
   
2. Click on Set Capture/Import Counter. A dialog opens.
   
   
3. Add a value to start from. To count down, add a minus (-) sign in front of the value.
   
   
4. Click OK to accept the settings.
   
   

Setting the Counter increment

You can set a value for the selected counter (i.e., Capture or Import) to increase or decrease by the number. Typically this value will be one, but this option can be useful with multi-camera setups.

1. From the Next Capture Naming tool, click on the Action menu, the (…) icon, located at the top-right corner of the dialog.
   
   
2. Click on Set Capture/Import Counter Increment. A dialog opens.
   
   
3. Set a value for the desired increment (to count down, minus values can be used).
   
   
4. Alternatively, choose File -> Capture Counter -> Set Increment... from the main menu.
   
   

Setting the Counter decrement

The Capture Counter in use can be decreased manually, if necessary. This is useful when you want to re-number an image.

1. In the main menu, choose File -> Capture Counter -> Decrement Capture Counter.
   
   
2. The counter is decreased by the previously selected increment each time this option is selected.
   
   
3. When another image is captured, duplicating the same counter number, the image will not be overwritten but appended with the set increment instead.
