Hi,
I am trialing DL Pro and have come to a renaming situation where I need advice.
I prefer a simple file name scheme such as 2006-03-02-001. Multiple downloads on a single day would obviously create conflicts. Is there a way to instruct the rename module to continue the sequential numbering for that date or must it start with 001 each time? If it must start with 001 on each download, can someone suggest an additional token that would not convolute the file name more than necessary. Thanks in advance for any insight or ideas.

There isn't a way to continue numbering from the previous download because it just gets too complicated and confusing trying to keep track of what files have already been downloaded.
You could use the "Downloads today" token (%R) which is a count of the number of times DLPro has been run today and downloaded at least one file. Alternatively you could include the time as well as the date in the filename which has the advantage that images displayed in alphabetical order are also in chronological order.
