Description gordie.lachance+dev 2017-02-27 15:46:30 UTC
Hi, the documentation about "Naming Sequence starts with" says :
'Useful for programs that don't understand sequences starting with 0, or for precision output'.

I think this option is confusing and quickly brings problems.

1 / if a software does not understand sequences starting with 0, user should start exporting at frame 1; which solves the problem.
2 / Even better, there could be an option to define the first timeline frame number (in the animation dock).

3 / Most of all, instead of this "Naming Sequence starts with" option, it would be better to have an option 'use timeline frame numbers' (checked by default).  

Using this, If I export frame 25 to frame 50 :
- first file with option checked will be suffixed '25'
- first file with option UNchecked will be suffixed '0'

Eventually, the current option could stay but should be disabled unless 'use timeline frame numbers' is unchecked.

Finally, the current "Naming Sequence starts with" option only allows numbers from 0 to 99, which is incoherent.

Thanks !

Now it allows from 0 to 999.

Also, I agree it might be confusing, but I don't agree that just a checkbox will be enough. I think there are some usecases that benefits from the additional flexibility.
