The **Reset track number on next disc** option in the **Auto-numbering Wizard** appears not to have any effect.
Repro steps:
1. Load tracks with different disc numbers, where the tracks are sorted in order
- 10 tracks with **Discnumber** : 1
- 10 tracks with **Discnumber** : 2
- 10 tracks with **Discnumber** : 3
- 10 tracks with **Discnumber** : 4
2. Start the **Auto-numbering Wizard**
3. Check **Tracknumber**
4. Check **Reset track counter on next disc**
5. Click **OK**
- **Expected** : Track numbers reset at 1 each time the disc number changes
- **Actual** : Track numbers never reset; all track numbers are sequential from first to last

What do you have at **Next disc on change of field**?

The disc numbers are already set on the files, so I don't have that checked.
My thought was that resetting the track counter on 'next disc' implied it would use the `DISCNUMBER` field by default.
Do I need to explicitly set **Next disc on change of** : `DISCNUMBER`? I'm not setting the disc number, so seems like that should be the default. I thought it was an option to be used if I was setting the disc number by checking the **Discnumber** box.

Yes, [from the docs](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/auto-numbering/):
> ### Next disc on change of field
>
> If enabled, the disc counter is incremented if the value of the selected field changes.
