Question

Extra numbers added to sequence number

On importing I use Custom file name and set the start number sequence. I select File Name & Sequence number, On import there are extra numbers added after the sequence number. In some cases the extra numbers appear to be the total number of photos on card at that point where the photo is imported (e.g., if I import ten photos and select to number them 1 through 10 but they are the 200 to 210 photos on the card, the displayed sequence number will be 1200 through 10210); however, this may not be true for all cases. At any rate, how do I stop the extra numbers from being added to the sequence number I have selected? Using LR 6 stand alone.

To WobertC. re:email notification. I checked my account settings and the "Receive email" and the "Inbox" options were all checked. But I am still not receiving email that there has been a response to my issue. I have to keep re-logging into the forum.

I have no answer, sorry. (Just another 'User' without privy to the workings of the Forum site)

I also checked the email options in preferences but have not yet received an email re forum posts!

Ask the question specifically in a new post, perhaps others have an answer.

1 through 10 but they are the 200 to 210 photos on the card, the displayed sequence number will be 1200 through 10210);

I do not know how this occurred for you, but I can reproduce the effect with a Rename template-

So is it possible you have been experimenting with Filename template editing?

This template inserts a 'Sequence' number immediately before the number that already exists in the filename.

eg. My photo IMG_6048 will get renamed by the template shown as 20150829-16048.jpg

Note the sequence "1" is added in front of "6048"

If your imported images are called IMG_200, IMG_201, etc then this rename template would rename it -1200, -2201, -3202,...-10210, etc

Drat, shod have also asked.

Can you type in your replay some examples of resulting (erroneous) file names??

I did not receive an email that you had replied to my question, thus the delay in responding. Screen shot of Custom Name editor attached. Is this what you requested?

Is there something I have to do in order to receive email that my question has been responded to?

Not sure about what you want the final filename to look like.

Now, you stated Filename and Sequence number. But you have Custom Text and Sequence number.

Should this actual be:

{Filename>>}-{Sequence # (1)>>}

Now, I am still uncertain to what you are trying to have the file names imported look like. Can you provide an example by just typing in your replay a few imaginary examples

First, can you post a screen-clip of your File Renaming settings in the Rename Template Editor?
