Hello,

i have a question regarding to https://www.naps2.com/doc/batch-scan

"Save to multiple files": Images are split up into multiple files based on your selection below and saved to your chosen location and file type. You can use Placeholders to choose how multiple files should be named (for example, "$(nnn)" will be replaced with "001", "002", etc).

How can i set the starting count $(nn) so something else?

I use the following format:

ID-$(YYYY)-$(MM)-$(DD)-$(nn)_

This outputs: ID-2024-02-23-01_

I want to adjust the startingnumber 01 to something else - for example 12 so that the output looks like this: ID-2024-02-23-12_

How can i achieve that?

Best wishes
Alex.

The only way to do that currently is to have already-existing files that use the earlier numbers.
