Variables has a different value

[sinus]

Hi Mario
This is a very minor thing, more a question of curiousity:

I have ONE variable, defined in the preferences.

This variables I use for a upcounting number, this works very fine!

When I look at the variables with VarToy, the value is the same, but when I put this variables into the header (ID-plate), then the value differs, between 1 and roughly 20 numbers.

Is there a reason for this ... as I said, more a question of interesting.

This is an auto-increment variable! Unless used in special circumstances, it increments with every use. That's the idea of this type of variable.

If you use such a variable in a file window or the ID plate, it will be incremented every time the window is completely re-drawn. Depending on how Windows and IMatch cache window contents, this may be more or less often.

Variables which are set to auto-increment are not really designed to be used for display purposes. Use them in the Batch Processor, scripts, Renamer or whatever.

Ahhh! Thank you, Mario.

That is it. So I will take out the variable again from the ID-Plate.
I use it only for the renamer. And it works really fine (I made the same in MI3, and it works fine until now).

So all is fine!
