Frame index zero fill option for movie import function

[KotaYonezawa]

Thanks for very good photogrammetry software!
I heavily use now.

Today, I have a feature request for movie import function.
When we import movie, we can choose split image file names like "frame{filenum}.png"
{filenum} will be replaced to 0, 1, 2, ... 10, 11, 12,.. 100, 101, 102...
So the split image file name will be:
frame0.png, frame1.png, frame2.png, ... frame10.png, frame11.png, frame12.png, ... frame100.png, frame101.png, frame102.png...



But these file name sometimes not good for other software/applications.
Some external application automatically arrange the image file names as alphabetical order, and then uses them as chronological order image input.
In such case, above files will be a arranged like as follows:

frame0.png
frame1.png
frame10.png
frame100.png
...

So, image files will be imported non-chronological order for such external applications...
To avoid such case, Now I need to change image file names after importing movie like as follows.

frame0000.png
frame0001.png
frame0002.png
...
frame0010.png
frame0011.png
frame0012.png
...
frame0100.png
frame0101.png
frame0102.png
...
I can do it but it's not convenient...

So, my request is, could you add a option to change split image file name using zero-filled index like as above?
For example, if we set in movie import dialog like:
frame{zfillfilenum}.png
the split image file can become like "frame0000.png"
(number of zero is determined by total file number of split image files)

What do you think?

Hello KotaYonezawa,

You can use the following filename template:

Code: [Select]

frame{filenum:04}.png
Thus you will get frame00000.png, frame00001.png, frame00002.png labeling for the produced frames.

Hi, Alexey
Where can be found some documentation about templates usage?
Thanks
