Hi Wesley,

Sorry for the long delay in replying. The idea of a batch sequence 
number has not been discussed. I never thought of such a feature myself. 
With the feature you  have in mind, are you saying that if you download 
a group of pictures, and then download another group 1 hour later, each 
set of photos within the same group would have the same batch number, 
but each group would have its own number? It's certainly possible to 
code such a feature, but the only question I have is how useful it would 
be. Can you demonstrate how it would be useful for you?

Thanks
Damon
