Auto-reset file counter for each rename batch

The current counter keeps increasing across all projects and sessions. This results in filenames like IMG_000012, even when renaming a small new batch.

I would like an option to automatically reset the counter to 001 for each new rename operation – without having to reset it manually.

Alternatively, a token that simply numbers the files within the current selection (e.g. 001, 002, 003…) would solve the problem.

This would improve file naming consistency and reduce manual steps in daily workflows.

Current workaround

Manually reset the counter via File > Counters > Reset before each rename action. This is inconvenient and easy to forget, especially during fast-paced work.
