[Mesa-users] Photo intervals

[Pablo Marchant]

Hi Amber, you can check the option photo_digits. Its described as

"""
use this many digits from the end of the model_number for the photo name
"""

so if you set it to 4 you can store up to model 9999 for the profile before
they're rewritten.

Cheers
