 # Installation 
 
-First click `Code` -> `Donwload ZIP` on this page or downlad from the [releases page](https://github.com/keerah/SendTo_FFmpeg/releases) to get all the scripts, it's all yours for free and forever.
+First click `Code` -> `Donwload ZIP` on this page or downlad from the [releases page](https://github.com/keerah/SendTo_FFmpeg/releases) to get all the scripts, it's all yours for free and forever. Unpack the downloaded zip to any convenient location where these presets will stay present.
 
 Then you will need to [download the FFmpeg executables](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows) or from [here on Github](https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases), it's free as well.
 
 By default these scripts assume the path to FFmpeg.exe is `c:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin`, so you can simply extract the downloaded ffmpeg archive into `c:\Program Files\ffmpeg`. If you place ffmpeg into a different folder, you will need to edit the `ffpath` option in the settings file named `sendtoffmpeg_settings.cmd`. There's a full description for each option in that file.
 
 # Usage
-You can use these batches in a few different ways:
-
-## Drag-n-drop
-Just drag your files over the corresponding `.bat` file's icon. You can drag files one by one, each will be encoded in a separate process, you can also select multiple files for any script except a couple. Each script announces its features and reports about the process, so keep an eye on the output.
 
 ## Windows explorer's Send To menu
-You can integrate these batches as commands into Windows' `Send To` menu (right-click on any file in the Explorer).
-
-For this you will need to:
-
-1. Put all of these batches to any convenient location (for example in cloud sync folder to have them synced for all machines). Find the file named `sendtoffmpeg_settings`.cmd_ and edit it to change the `ffpath` option, that points to the **FFmpeg** executables, if this path is different from `c:\Program Files\ffmpeg`.
-
-2. Now create the shortcuts for these files (Alt-drag them onto your Desktop first). Then move these shortcuts into `C:\Users\[_YOUR USER NAME_]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo` folder (this will require elevated privileges).
+You can integrate these batches into Windows' `Send To` menu (right-click on any file in the Explorer). Now it's automated and easy to do.
 
-3. Now you may want to rename these shortcuts to get rid of the `Shortcut` word in the names, or rename them to whatever siuts your needs, but do not change the `.lnk` extension.
+Just run the file `Create_SendTo_Shortcuts.bat` by double-clicking it and follow instructions. It will create all the shortcut files for you and will open the folder containing them. There's plenty of presets already and you might decide to remove some of the links to unclutter the menu.
 
-4. And finally you will have to manually clear the `Start In` field in each shortcut (this lets the scripts save output files next to your sources) by right-clicking one after another and selecting the `Properties` menu. Along with it you can change the icon of the shortcuts (`Change Icon` button in the same Properties window), these icons will let you identify the tasks in the `Send To` menu. This takes time, but a backup of those will serve you well later.
+That's all. Now you can right-click on any file(s), navigate to `Send To` menu item and select one of the presets there. The corresponding `.bat` file will do the rest and will place the result into the same folder with a suffix like `_CUDA_420_high.mp4` added to the filename(s).

 - To transcode an image sequence you need to select the first frame of the sequence(s), or any other frame to trim the sequence(s).
 - **SendTo** will look for the frame counter at the end of the filename first, it will consider the number of ending symbols defined by `frcounter` setting, which by default is `4`.
+- If the frame counter was not found at the end of the filename **SendTo** will attempt to find the counter after the delimiter symbol, which is defined by the setting `frdelim` (Framecounter delimiter) and by default is set to `.`. If it is set to empty string `SET "frdelim="` then this detection is skipped. This feature lets you encode the sequences named like this _`Renderout.0001.puzzleMatte.exr`_.
+- If all attempts to detect the frame counter fail, you will get a single frame output.
 - If you select a few frames that belong to different sequences, they will be transcoded independently. If you select a few images of the same image sequence you will get separate outputs for each with different in-point.
 - You can supress the sequence detection by changing the `imgset` (Consider image sequences) option to `0` in the settings file. Do not forget you can do it for just one particular folder(s) by copying the settings file into this folder and changing this option in it.
