How to export image sequence from lightroom classic in format 001.jpg 002.jpg 003.jpg ~ 999.jpg

[joeh87907460]

How do you set Lightroom's export so that the exported images are in the sequence 001.jpg, 002.jpg, 003.jpg ~ 999.jpg? I don't want a filename or anything else in front of the 001.jpg or any of the rest of them, just the number sequence. I had it set that way, and I can't remmeber how I did it. Lighroom updated or something because I was using it one day and everything was fine, the the next day I opened it and adobe had 'updated' it and every thing was reset. And I can't figure out how I did that before. 

Now all exports start with 001.jpg then go to 001-1.jpg, 001-2.jpg, 001-3.jpg ~ on up to 001-999.jpg. I don't want that crap! All of the settings include putting a "custom" file name of some sort, and if I delete that, it inserts an underscore before the number like _1.jpg, or if I don't delete it but don't put a filename, it exports them like untitled-001.jpg. 

ADOBE, STOP CHANGING SETTINGS JUST LEAVE THEM THE HECK ALONE. IF YOU CAN'T DO AN UPDATE WITHOUT CHANGING SOMETHING, THEN DON"T DO THE DAMNED UPDATE! JUST STOP CHANGING PEOPLES STUFF.

Make a 'Rename' preset in the Filename template Editor-

Use this Preset in your Export dialog.

"STOP CHANGING SETTINGS"-  Make Presets! they never change unless YOU change them!

Thank you for trying to help, I appreciate it. But that option is not in my copy of Lightroom Classic, and I have the latest update. Here is a screenshot to that effect. I have created 3 of my own and none of them do what I want.

I did however solve the problem with information gleaned from this web page:  https://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/threads/exporting-with-1st-number-starting-at-01-or-001-and...

"Not there"?  It will be when you create it.

Just click on Edit.... 

Design the Preset as I indicated in the Template Editor.

You need to delete everything from the Editor large box then [Insert] one of the options in the drop-down menus. You do not type any number like 001, or add anything else.

And SAVE this preset.

Saving a Preset can be tricky! You have to click on the drop-down menu in the Preset: box where you will see- "Save Current Settings as  new Preset". and you name it what you want. (My name for this preset is "Sequence only" )

In your Export dialog you select the Filename Preset that YOU saved.

And note that you can then also enter the 'Start' Number- (but Lightroom will always start at 001 unless YOU enter a new number)
