Capture One mixing up file naming on simultaneous exports?

I had to export group of files with a different naming format.

Example:

Group1 =  group01_[Image Name].tiff
Group2 =  group02_[Image Name].tiff

Since it's a very long process I didn't wait for the first group to finish the export, and I launched a new export for group2, and so for group3 and group4.
Capture One was exporting simultaneously all the images, instead of appending the export.

I noticed that I ended up with mixed file names. Example: image exported with group1 ended up being named group02_[Image Name], and another image from group1 ended up being exported as group03_[Image Name].

    How are you getting the group names in the file name? Are you using a process recipe, or the export facility?

    Hello, I tried also this naming scheme   [Collection Name]_[2 Digit Counter]

    I'm exporting each album with the above preset, but the [digit counter] is NOT independent for each export task\album.

    It's consecutive for all the images.
    I need each album to be exported with 0-N digit counter.

    In the reference image, each export process corresponds to a whole album.

    Not an approach I use on outputs so I cannot be sure but I don't think the numbering token is controlled each batch individually when running parallel batches.

    I don't think it would be auto-reset between batches either - but I would be pleased to be proven wrong about that.

    The big issue here is that you can reset manually the counter token before launching your exporting process, BUT if there's already another export in process, the numbering would mess up anyway, and all the concurrent exports would be treated as a single whole process.


    This behavior doesn't really make sense to me.


    So the question is: how can I export simultaneously different albums and assign to each img an ID 1-N (where N is the number of images in the album) ?
