We seem to view "it will show" in different ways. Your NLE (and my
scheduling s/w for DV files) will display a group of files IF you have
stopped and started the recording. If you have not s/s then the NLE
is smart enough to know that all the -0x files are part of one <thing>.

But if your OS looks at the files, it sees them as separate.

"it will show" can refer to the Final Product (one file), but
the actual uploads (to the OS) are separate files. The NLE and
other systems produce a single file, but FTP, disk transfers, and
disk mounts show multiple files.

In other words, this is a feature of the NLE, not of the FS100,
according to the makers of the FS100.
