    Thanks that was very helpful for me
    The default settings location parts were especially helpful
    But as a non expert on videos etc I am not sure what the differences are between.
    Thumbnail
    Screenshot
    Current Frame
    Current Source frame.
    To me they all sound the same, could I suggest that at the start of your article that you explain them all?

    I find that the only way to do this is by opening the Consecutive Image Capturer dialog box (default key is Ctrl+G)

    In Filename suffix field, choose playback time

    I’m looking for a way to convert a video to still frmaes. I’m trying to use the “Ctrl+G” fro continuous capture. The settings aren’t versitile enough. You should add an option to “capture all frames”. If I do select “Every Frame”, it doesn’t actually capture them all – I also have to tell pot player calculate how many frames to capture. If my video is 3minutes 24 seconds long – how do I capture every frame? Am I expected to calculate the frame-rate and tell Pot-Player how many frames to capture? If so, what’s the point of having an “every frame” option?

    True, Please try an updated version, if it will fix the issue.
