How to make AME render EXR seq to subfolder & set first frame number

OS: Windows 11

RAM: 128GB

AE: Version 23.0.0 (Build 59)

AME: Version 23.0 (Build 57)

I render a lot of exr sequences and I have a project where the client wants me to render roughly 150 comps at the same time. I would like to use AME for this.

Here's what I am encountering. I have a watch folder and drop my projects in. All of the exr sequences get rendered to the same massive folder - no subfolders. Creating a file management nightmare for delivery. In AE I have the option to "Save in Subfolder" (output to). Can I do this in AME?

Second issue is my client wants the renders to start at frame 1 even though the metadata timecode will match the edit. In AE I have the option "Starting #: _" (Output Module) where I can set to 1 and the files will be named "comp_001.exr" "comp_002.exr" and so on. AME always starts the file sequence at 000 and I can't find a way to change that.

It would be very useful if there is a work-around that doesn't involve me manually setting the directory for all 150+ renders nor after-the-fact organizing the folder (which would take far too long) I could get around the start frame number. It seems these limitations rule out AME as a solution for me.

Or is this an improvement request?
