Naming

In COPro 3.7.8, In File>Preferences there was a facility to name files with the last five digits of the frame number which I could precede with my own image name in the process tool. The camera number was thus left out of the final name. This combination was very convenient for the way we work, if sometimes a little unwieldy. Am I right in thinking this can no longer be done in COPro 4? I am getting some extremely long file names!

  While not 5 digits, the combination of "job name and number" when the job field is filled with the rename data (client's name?) does the same with sequential 3 digits...

  Thanks for this John. The reason I use the actual frame number is so I can easily find the original raw file again. These are kept separately to the processed images. Looks like I may have to re think things, again.

  Oh...well in that case...maybe just assign the 5 digit number on import, then use the "Job Name + image name" on develop.....that would truncate the camera ID on import and result in the same system number you are using in the end file.....
