Is there a reason for using frame padding, e.g. .$F4 format instead of just .$F when rendering a sequence?

I seem to recall that some software requires the sequence numbers to be a certain way (e.g. render.0001 rather than render.1, or is this just a style preference?

Hi,

It makes managing the files easier and some file management systems do not sort the files properly if the digits don't have padding. It also works easier in some applications that work with sequences like Nuke.

Thanks, I will start making it a habit.
