Description Michael G. Hansen 2009-08-03 20:56:42 UTC

Version:           0.3 (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

When I scan with "Save without asking for a filename", the filename counter is automatically increased with every saved image. Since scanning takes time for each image, one is tempted to start renaming/deleting previously scanned images while waiting for the next one. However, if I am scanning what would be image-006 and delete image-003 in the meantime, the next image is saved to image-003 instead of image-006.

I would expect that during a scan session, the counter only goes up without looking for free numbers from the beginning. This leads to a messed up order of the images. 

Could you at least make it an option to only scan for free numbers at the beginning of a session? Also, it would be nice to specify a start value for the counter if I want to resume scanning and have already deleted/renamed pictures in between.

Thanks,

I think you might have a point there :)
I'll add it to the TODO

I would love this to be extended in such a way that the next number is used even across sessions.

For example, when the numbering scheme is Image-#### and I have Image-0010 as the highest-numbered image, the next filename would be Image-0011 irregardless of whether Image-0001 through Image-0009 already exist.
