Filename Template Editor question; multiple photos in same second

I just moved to a new computer and didn't save my import preset for renaming my photos file names. I have reconstructed it but have one minor problem. Here is my file naming convention:

JAH-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-X

The problem is, I want the "X" to be a sequential number for photos that were taken in the same second. For example, If I took a burst of photos at 223515 (UTC), they would be tagged ...223515-1, ...223515-2, ...223515-3,

I know I did this before. I tried sequence as the token, but it just tagged all my photos I imported as 1 through X, even though none were take within the same second.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thaniks,

Jim

    This sort of does what you want but I don't know how you guarantee that the second doesn't increment if the sequence of photos rolled over to the next second.  In fact if you were a second away from the top of the hour the hour, minute and second could be different.
