Problem taking flats

Problem taking flats was created by Bill Barsuhn

I just noticed an issue with taking flats after the last update I did. I select an exposure time of 1 second, ADU of 28000, 25 frames and start the process. It doesn’t have any problem adjusting the exposure time to get the correct ADU level, and it starts capturing the 25 images. The problem is that it doesn’t index the file names so I only end up with one image. If I enter the specific time for the flat that gives the 28000 ADU, it works as expected and indexes the images. Has anyone else experienced this, if so what do I have set wrong?

Equipment - RPi4 4 GB, LED tracing pad for flat frames.

Am I the only one “blessed” with this feature?

I just tried it on my 3.5.8 Stable (2022-03-16) and it appears to create sequential file numbers after an automatic ADU initialization, for me.
