File sequence numbering is not available in the Save As widget. It is only available in the widget when it is used in the workflow window since the workflow window provides the context for sequence numbers. However since the 'Generate unique name' option provides a sequence number for images with the same name, this can be used for numbering short runs of images. For large runs, use of the workflow window is recommended.

This fact should have been documented and will be added to the Help file in the next release.

Another question here:
The option "Delete original File after saving" seemes not work here.
But I think this option might be usefull, at least in some configurations:
I use a DAM (IMatch). From IMatch I start a raw-converter (bibble or RawTherapee).
The raw-converter writes the data to a temp-directory and starts PWP.
Within PWP I do the finetuning and save the image to a directory under the control of the DAM.
So in this case, it is usefull to delete the old, no longer needed files in the temp-directory.
