Auto Reset Numbering ?

Hi,

Is it possible to automatically reset 'numbering' when you select a different folder?

As in, in my old software when I renamed a number of photos taken that day, may naming format would be:

YEAR - MONTH - DAY - Sequence

This would look like this:

2019 - 02 - 22 - 0001.dng

The only thing is that in Capture One I have to go to File > Rename Counter > Reset Counter every time that I import images, if I do not then the Numbering sequence carry's on from where I left off, this gets a little annoying and slows down the workflow, it would be great if this could get reset every time that you do a Batch Rename, etc.

Is this possible?

  No, but you can assign it to a keyboard shortcut.

  I second this. I name images based on event or location. I do not see the use case for where someone would want a counter to continue from where it last was. Please consider either having the counter automatically reset at each import or, make it an option in preferences.

  Thanks.

  I can't remember how often I have re-done exports because the counter does not reset automatically. And you have to do it for each and every format spec separately. It drives me crazy.

  Yeh this is maddening - how is this the default option? Is there a feature request section on these forums?

  Agreed. It also really hampers using multiple recipes simultaneously as the reset counter has to be selected to each one.

  Indeed there is.
