Digit widths

Digit widths are how many digits the app reserves for each part of a name — chapter, slot, and version. They do two jobs: they tell the app how to split an existing filename into chapter/slot/version, and they set how wide to pad the numbers it writes back. They're stored per folder, so one project can use two-digit chapters while another uses three.

Set them once when a folder's numbering differs from the default (2 chapter, 1 slot, 1 version); otherwise leave them alone.

The width fields — Three small number boxes in the toolbar, one each for chapter, slot, and version width (their tooltips name which is which). Changing a width re-reads the folder under the new scheme and pads future names to match. For example, with slot width 1 the app would write 0031.mp4; raise the slot width to 2 and the same shot becomes 00031.mp4, the slot now taking two padded digits.
