Issues with Exporting
Playing around with PR2022 I tried to export a series of photos, all arranged by date captured.
1.The first thing that I cannot find is the following: If I export (for example) by custom name and sequence, I cannot start the sequence by any number (say, I want to export from the 6th photo onwards) but I have to stick to 1. In other words, my 6th photo will get the sequence number 1. There does not seem to be a way to edit the sequence number manually. Any idea how this can be addressed?
2. Doing an export, I realised that the the sequence of the exported photos had changed (most probably arbitrarily). In other words, my first photo has sequence no 3, my second 7, my third 4, etc. Am I doing something wrong, or this is something that should go to support?
Thanks.

I've been working with another user having the same problem. https://on1help.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/4410089240333-When-exporting-a-group-of-photos-using-sequence-numbers-it-starts-at-002-and-increments-by-2?page=1#community_comment_4410149168141
I don't know what is going on, I'm not able to duplicate the problem on my system. You'll have to work with tech support on this.

Thanks Brian. I suppose that you refer to the second point.
Do you have any answer for the first? Ie, are sequence numbers editable, or always starting from 1?
Thanks again.

No, I don't know how to get it to start at anything but 1.

Wow. Just exploring the sequence # in Export. So many new options but not able to set the sequence number.
I checked the user guide too, there is no mention of an option.
Edit: Same problem in Batch Rename.

I would expect that. The code that does it in one place should be the same piece of code that does it in another. Everywhere you can use the tokens would be the same.
I tried starting with 1 when there is already a 1.xxx file. Our options are Skip, Replace, and Keep Both. Replace and Keep Both are obvious but I didn't know what Skip would. I was hoping it skip that number and use the next in sequence but nooooo…! I skips exporting the image that would have used that number.
Definitely some more work is needed.

LOL, this release (2022) is the FIRST that has the same code for Export, Rename and I would assume Import as well (haven't checked that one).
It's just funny to me that you would say that after all the years I've been complaining to On1 about the inconsistency between the three.
Baby steps I guess, once the sequence is fixed I think we'll finally be in a good place with filenames.

Who says they don't listen to us complain? 😉

Hopefully, when they address the sequence number they will also address the second issue I mentioned in my initiating comment. Ie, the fact that the sequence does not follow the order of the selected photos but scrambles them arbitrarily.
