Set the formatting rules for automatically generated segment names. These settings are used in various {{STX}} signal processing and segmentation applications (e.g. [[User_Guide/Spectrogram_and_Parameter_Viewer/Settings_Dialog#Automatic_Segment_Names|Spectrogram & Parameters Viewer]] and the [[User_Guide/Project/Creating_block_segments|Create Block-Segments]] dialog)

;name:Fixed part of the segment name.
;index:The index counter start value. This value is increment each time an automatic name is generated.
;digits:The number of digits to be used for the index part of the automatic name.
;index = extension:If checked, the index separated from the name by a period (name.index). Otherwise, the index is appended directly to the name (nameindex).
;auto-index:Check the auto-index box, if the next available segment name using this format should be generated (i.e. if you already have 3 segments aseg.001, aseg.002 and aseg.003, then the next automatically generated segment will be aseg.004).

The Automatic Segment Name settings are global to {{STX}}. If you use the auto-index setting, however, consecutive segmenting in multiple files is possible.
