PowerPoint image slide numbering issue in OBS

[CuriousTurns]

I am using OBS to make an image presentation of PPT slides. Unfortunately, OBS has issues reading my slide numbering properly. The image slides have been automatically numbered Slide 1, Slide 2, Slide 3, and so on. The issue is that OBS reads the slide numbers from Slide 1, then it goes to Slide 10, then Slide 11. I don't know if anyone has come across this and if there is a fix to the numbering system.

I'm not sure what you are doing, so hard to propose a solution

Are you doing a screen capture (Display or Window) of a PPTx slide show?
Personally, I run a Windowed PPTx slide show and window capture that, cropping off the bottom status bar of the PPTX window.

On the other hand, is PPTx even relevant in your use case?
Did you screen shot or otherwise have images (not powerpoint) whith file names as you list, then do an Image slideshow in OBS Studio? if yes, OBS is doing exactly what you asked for, as Slide 11 follows slide 1 (see file order in File Explorer and sort by name... )
For anything in name order, you need to name files properly Slide 01, 02, ... Slide 11etc... [if 2 digits only, starting at 001 if 3 digit, etc]

Thanks for the response. The double-digit numbering worked perfectly. Just to respond to some of your other questions, saving PPT slides as png images makes managing the presentation in OBS more seamless than raw PPT. So I created a separate scene with an image slide show as a source. Then the PPT png folder is where the images reside for serving to the OBS presentation.

On Windows 10, on a multiple monitor setup, I'm able to have a Windows PPTx slide show covered by my livestream monitoring (browser) session... with just a slide portion of the slide show visible. I'm able to mouse over the visible portion of the PPTx slide show, and use scroll wheel on mouse (without making PPTx the active window)... works great. In my circumstance... it means a single source to work from, and when need be and we switch to scene without PPT visibel, I can quickly edit a slide and re-display.. obviously different use cases, and enabling some automation on image changes has its benefits..
