Open Next is not opening the next image in a directory

[BenitoRT]

Hello.

This might be a beginner question but I need help.

 I have a directory full of images named with ascending numbers (e.g. 1, 2, 3, ... , n).
This numbers were assigned using a macro that I created which names the images this way after many procesing steps on the parent images. The problem is that when I use the "Open Next" command from image 1, the image 10 is opened instead of image 2.
Changing the names manually I found that naming the images 001, 002, 003, ... , 010, 011, and so on, the problem is solved, although I can't find a way in which the images are saved with this name format automatically.

Anyone have a solution to this? maybe another name format or a way to name the images this way?

Thank you very much in advance and sorry if my english is not clear.

I think I solved the problem.

I divided the names of the images by 100,000 so the new names are: 0.00001, 0.00002, ... , 0.0001, 0.00011, and so on. Saving the images this way solves the problem I had until the image 499,995+1 is reached (I guess).

Hi Benito,

In ImageJ macro, you can used the command below to add leading zeros for your number (n):
IJ.pad(n, length)

Example Macro:
n = 1;
print(n);
m = IJ.pad(n, 3);
print(m);

Best Regards,
John

Greetings John.

Either way works fine but I think yours is more elegant and it is exactly what I was trying to do.
I was desperate and didn't took the time to check all the ImageJ built-In macro functions. Sorry for that.

Thank you very much.

Benito.
