capture file name format (how 2 change)

[hefestus]

Hi,

currently is "bscap%A3"

how to change and save caps in format: original file name -ext + sec. numbering.

eg.

video: britt_ekland.avi
caps:
britt_ekland_01.jpg
britt_ekland_02.jpg
britt_ekland_03.jpg
...

I think you can do this by using %F parameter.
Have to test though!

Yes, the following parameters can be used
(They are shown in a "hover-over" help-text)

Format for file name:
%F  - File name (mymovie)
%E  - File extension (.avi)
%T  - Movie Time (hh-mm-ss)
%FR - Movie Time in frames
%TS - System time
%DD - Date day
%DM - Date month
%DY - Date year
%A0 - Auto number, with no leading zeros
%A1 - Auto number, with 1 leading zero (01,02,03...)
%A2 - Auto number, with 2 leading zeros (001,002,003...)
%A3 -
%A4 -

to be set in "Capture file name format" under
(single/double) rightclick > Options > Preferences > Frame and thumbnail capture

(So for your purpose: %F_%A1)

Thanx for prompt answer. I miss hover-over somehow :( though I check help-text.

You're welcome. Always glad to be able to help.
If you're using Dutch translation: the helptext is available in Dutch as well.
E.g. put your mousecursor in the box with the default-value "bscap%A3" (which you meanwhile probably changed into %F_%A1 ?) and the help-text should appear.

Very nice info :)

Thanx again BSPeter, I was just not patient enough at the first place to hold the cursor (long enough) over the field and get the tool tip

Patience is a virtue
