Re: filmscanners: Bulk scanning with Vuescan

That is my understanding - consecutively numbered files only.

The work-around would be to (temporarily) rename them so that all 3 sets are 
consecutively numbered - a program such as CKRename (freeware) at 
http://www.musicsucks.com/CKSoft/index.htm
will do this on a PC, and when you finish you can rename them back to what you 
want.
