how many digits do you want?

not sure what you are asking for. what number do you want it start from?

> User selectable length.

this is already possible. read on

if you want to make it unique, you will have to add the sequence number

for a completely custom template, turn off both "add datetime" and "add sequence number" and add the template manually in the prefix box. i'm not sure what template you are looking for, but i can give you an example which will ensure a unique number with date added.

photo_%Y-%m-%d_%%03d (the %% in the last term is not a typo)

so the names will be of the type:
photo-2001-01-04-001.jpg

read up on strftime man page on how to customize the date. the sequence number should of the form %%0nd (where n is the number of digits you want)
