--begin output filenames not 0 indexed

[Former user]

I am using emberanimate with the --begin option to pickup where I left off with rendering in the fractorium gui. The documentation says this option is 0 indexed. However, the output filename does not seem to reflect this. For example, If I use --begin=0 it will output 0001.png. This throws off the sequence and makes my render look like it skips a frame because the gui seems to render filenames with 0 index. It's not a huge deal, I can write a script to change the names, but I figure it should be the same as the gui, or at least that's what makes sense to me!

Anyways, thanks for making such a great tool!

I will look at this, but can you please make an actual account? I talk to many people all across the world about Fractorium on a regular basis, and only seeing “former user” does not help me keep track of who I am talking to. Thank you.

I’ve now fixed this to make everything used 0-based.

‌

Actually, Fractorium will use the name of the file in the sequence. I do this because you can specify it in the Start count field in the sequence generator.

‌

You can see the changes I made in EmberAnimate.cpp here:

This will be included in the next release, which ought to come in a week or so.

Thanks for reporting.
