Batch Rename Static Sequence numbers
Batch Rename is a fantastic tool, I use sequence numbers often and was surprised to find the capability to retain the last number in the sequence and start from the next number during the next Batch Rename use. However, it would be ideal if that was an option or a second choice. Having to modify the starting sequence number each time I want to use the same preset in a new scenario or workflow isn't always ideal and in the case of using workflows it has to be modified and saved again to reset the sequence starting point. Launching a workflow process from a different workspace isn't possible if your desire is to have the use of the Batch Rename use a sequence number from the same starting point each time.

I’d like two options for the Batch Rename Sequence Number default. One option Sequence Number to default to the last used sequence number (which is the current behavior) and the second option is for the Sequence Number to default to number one (1).
Use Batch Rename in daily product photography production to rename and sequence product images for upload into a catalog. Each product can have 1 to 8 images, the files are named by a unique name and tagged with a sequence number -1, -2, -3, etc. We rename hundreds of image files a day and must reset the Sequence Number to the number 1 after each rename.
