appendixframenumber does not work with frame numbers

[jolars]

It seems like the appendixframenumber option to the page number in head/foot template has no effect when it is used together with the frame number option of the footline template. Here is a working example:

\documentclass{beamer}

\setbeamertemplate{page number in head/foot}[appendixframenumber]
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{A Slide Before the Appendix}
\end{frame}

\appendix

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{A Slide In the Appendix}

  This slide is in the appendix and is (incorrectly?) counted towards the total number of main frames.
\end{frame}

\end{document}

The first slides looks like this:

But I would expect the frame numbering to be 1/1 here, not 1/2.

The last slide looks like this:

The frame numbering is 2/2 but I would expect it to be 2/1.

If I use \setbeamertemplate{footline}[page number] instead, then it works as expected (I get 1/1 and 2/1), but I would assume that this would work when using frame numbers also. I am using beamer 3.69.

With an up-to-date beamer version it works if you first set the footline template and then adjust the page number in head/foot template to your liking:

\documentclass{beamer}

\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]
\setbeamertemplate{page number in head/foot}[appendixframenumber]


\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{A Slide Before the Appendix}
\end{frame}

\appendix

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{A Slide In the Appendix}

  This slide is in the appendix and is (incorrectly?) counted towards the total number of main frames.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{A Slide In the Appendix}

  This slide is in the appendix and is (incorrectly?) counted towards the total number of main frames.
\end{frame}

\end{document}

If you mean that changing the order of the commands would matter, then I think not. And I already tried it. I still get 1/3, 2/3, and 3/3.

Changing the order works with beamer v3.70 or newer. And yes, the order of the commands does matter because \setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number] will set the page number in head/foot and thus overwrite what you previously set.

Changing the order works with beamer v3.71. And yes, the order of the commands does matter because \setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number] will set the page number in head/foot and thus overwrite what you previously set.

Alright, thanks! I couldn't find anything in the changelog regarding this so I figured it bug would still be around. Okay, thanks again!
