Add Automatic Numbering

The setting Enumerate Show File Name When Description Changes in the backup menu automatically increments a 3-digit number. The number will be appended to the show file name if the description is changed when saving the show.

• To separate the show file name from the number, add a hyphen (-), an underscore (_), or any other character to separate the name from the numbers at the end of the show file name.
• Enumerating a show file can also be called with the /Enumerate option. For more information, see /Enumerate option keyword.

	Hint:
	If the original show file name is too long to add the number, the command line will return an error. In this case, the former show file name will be used again.
