Description

In QCodes-dk we have seen that the counter for experiments suddenly jumped from ~200 to 170815 this turns out to be due to a pptx file with 170814 (as in the date) in the name.
we should see if we can be smarter with figuring out the last experiment

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by locating the experiment counter and how it discovers the latest experiment, then investigate how the pptx filename containing 170814 is included; done should mean date-like filenames no longer cause the counter to jump past the actual latest experiment.
