First of all, thank you so much for developing this great software!

I am new to timelapse, and tried to use LRtimelapse but have a problem with the way the software orders the images.

I am working on the following platform: MacBook pro, SnowLeopard, Lightroom3

When I imported my images in Lightroom, I renamed the sequence of images that way:
Timelapse-1.jpg; Timelapse-2.jpg, Timelapse-3.jpg; ... ; Timelapse-10.jpg, Timelapse11.jpg; ...; Timelapse-100, ... ; Timelapse-n.jpg

Now I treat my images in Lightroom, save the metadata, and when I import the images in LRTimelapse, the sequence is not respected.

The sequence in LRT goes like this:

Timelapse-1.jpg;
Timelapse-10.jpg,
Timelapse-100.jpg,
Timelapse-101;102, 103 .. 109;
Timelapse-11.jpg
Timelapse-110.jpg; 111; 112; ...; 119
Timelapse-12.jpg, 120, 121 ...

This sequencing problem obviously affects the sequence by locating images where they should not be every 10 images...

Do you know how to solve the problem? Or how to rename the folders?

Thanks a lot for your help !!

Hello Aurelien,
please rename the Files in Lightroom with leading zeros:

0001...
0002...
0003...
0004...

because filenames are sorted lexicographically in LRTimelapse...

You can rename a whole bunch of files in Lightroom with F2 after selecting them all in Grid mode (G)

Thank you so much for the tip, I did not find the personalized renaming option in lightroom which enables you to rename with leading zeros!

Thanks for your work and help this is really great!

Go to Grid mode (press G) , select all images (control A), then select f2. In the Filename Template Editor select Sequence # (0001). Good luck.
