Hello,
I am trying to use the "Numbers In Filename" scheme for assembly.
I wanted to leverage the Automatic settings, so I have auto set for Total and Serial, as well as YES for Match filename.
I am not using special characters, nor other numbers in the filenames.
However, none of these file pairs will assemble:
FILE_1 of 2.pdf
FILE_2 of 2.pdf
FILE 2 of 2.pdf
FILE 2 of 2.pdf
FILE 1of2.pdf
FILE 2of2.pdf
What am I doing wrong? There is 1 total reference to this assembly feature on the internet, and the manual is incomplete for this topic.
Thanks very much for helping.

Re: Assemble - Numbers In Filename
I've only ever had luck by using a Job Dismantler before an Assemble Job
Another Switch mystery - is it maybe looking for 01 and 02?

Re: Assemble - Numbers In Filename
I received a flow from support that worked and wanted to share for any future tortured souls
What worked was:
Number index for total 2
Number index for serial 1
Match filename Yes
Merge metadata No
Job folder name Automatic
Subfolder levels 0
This merges XXX_ N of N.pdf, XXX NofN, and XXX_NofN, where the first N is the piece serial, and the second N is the piece total.
Still not sure why it can't dynamically do it with auto, but small victories are OK.
