Hi simon, a wild guess, but is your panel old, being loaded by a newer version of JMRI? I'm suspecting that routes are getting renamed on load, but somehow it's looking at 'old' names when coming up with the new route's name.? Try storing the panel, quitting and loading the new panel, and see if it happens again.
In either case, let the developers know what version of JMRI you're running, and somebody will probably want to look at the panel file.

Hi all,
It may be something obvious that I've overlooked, but when I re-open a previously saved Panel, add a new Route to the existing route table and choose "Automatically Generate System Name", the name generated always begins at 0001 (eg IR2:AUTO:0001). This overwrites the existing route that has this automatically generated system name from an earlier session.
Is there anywhere that I can specify what integer the sequence should begin with, in order to avoid this happening?
I've been hacking around the problem by doing a search and replace on the xml file for IR2:AUTO: to some other string (eg IR2:EXISTING:) prior to re-opening a panel to continue working on it.
I have no control system attached, I'm using JMRI to visualise and experiment with routes on a layout plan exported from RailModellerPro.
