Hi all
I was wondering if there is away to sequentially fill track numbers for a number of selected files, but not starting with 1?
I would like to be able to select the starting number. Is that possible?
Thanks a lot

I wasn't sure this was going to be possible, but I found an angle for you.

Pick a set of files, edit the Track # field, and put this in where you type:
=Math(Counter()+10)

For 10, just put whatever number you want to start at.

Pretty neat little trick!

Matt, do you really need the "Math()" function? I thought counter() had it baked in, so...

=counter(10,1) starts counting from 10, in increments of 1
=counter(3,2) starts counting from 3, in increments of 2

or did something change while I wasn't looking?

Yeah, I always use =Counter(x) when starting from x. The default is increments of one, so no need to specify if that's your case.

Well darn it, you're just a lot smarter than me!

That sure works as well.

I seriously doubt that I just have the expression functions in my head for some reason :/

[jacobacci]

Brilliant as always, guys. Thanks a lot
What would I do without this forum.

@jacobacci, thanks so much for asking about this. I have required this for soo long.

...and thanks for the workaround; I'll give it a try later.
 

[Late Edit] yeah it works. Boy could I have done with this function yesterday. Nevermind got it now.

Yep, I know this one by heart because I use it fairly regularly.  However, it's one of those things that is difficult for a new user and tedious to always type out.

It would be nice if selecting Fill Track Numbers from List Order resulted in a pop up with Starting With __ and In Increments of __ .  Of course, it should have default values of 1 in both boxes so that you can just click OK for more common occurrences.

Good idea.

Coming next build:
Changed: Made the fill track numbers system show a dialog to ask for the start and increment.

Wow! Thank you
