Bug: Track number issue on EXPORT MULTIPLE

Post by flaZer » Mon Sep 26, 2011 2:24 am

Hello, hoping posting to the place.

Was EXPORTING MULTIPLE to MP3 and overrode the Track Number...
I select NUMBERING BEFORE LABEL/TRACK NAME.

The track number within th MP3's was correct but the track number reference in the file name defaulted to 01, onwards.
So, although I started my sequence from 7, the files correctly numbered but the file names started from 1

thx!

The automatic numbering in Export Multiple is designed to start at "01". It has not been designed to take any notice of the track names, file names, label names or anything else - it just does a simple count up from 01.

If you are using Export Multiple based on labels, then include the number that you require in the label text.
If you are using Export Multiple based on tracks, then include the number that you require in the track name.

Then, in the Export Multiple dialogue, select "Name files: Using Lable/Track Name".
