I'm missing the feature to have a place holder formatting string
to add consecutive numbers to file names in the job manager.

Imagine I would name my files in job manager: "2003-01-%nn.jpg"
This would produce filenames like: "2003-01-01.jpg", "2003-01-02.jpg", ...

Of course one should be able to define a starting number.

"%nnn" would produce a 3 digit numbers.

(My background: I saved jobs with predefined settings for
scanning tens of slides. But not only for this purpose the
described option would be very helpful.)

I second that motion ;-)

I have waited for a better numbering scheme for a looonnng time.

i third the motion

we still do not have better numbering facilities and I'm having difficulties.

my current situation:

Batch Mode (file)
Form Feeder
Negative

Frame/Name is <Untitled frame>

when I click Scan, in the Save As dialog, SF defaults to the previous file name I used. I specify "19900218 #1 .tif"

Reset numbering is turned off.

when SF saves the files, it appends the file number *after* the .tif extension rather than before it. eg, "19900218 #1 .tif0001"

why?

what are the rules that SF uses to determine where to place the file number?

when might we see better naming options?

Hello,

I am also a strong requestor for such a feature.

I am scanning Super 8 cine films in order to digitize them (with a superior quality by using now the Epson 4990). My program S8ToAVI (see http://wkurz.com) needs consecutively numbered images representing a strip of the film in order to extract the frames contained in this strip. Then these frames are used to generate an AVI file.

It would be a great help to have the scans automatically numbered in a predefined way by Silverfast.

You'll find much better file numbering options for both the normal batch scan and from the JobManager in the upcoming version 642r4.
