Hello,
I review my footage constantly throughout the day and do a lot of saving the snapshots and clips that I need. I can then delete the .bvr files that contain a bunch of what I don't need.
Has anyone found a way to change the default name of a file when you take a snapshot or save a clip? Both used to default to the cameraName_date_timeTheBVRFileStarted. I emailed the dev and he did change the snapshots to cameraName_date_timeofsnapshot, but left the clips as they were.
I name my files with just the time of incident like 1205.jpg instead of Cam13.20201010_120514249_1.jpg. I do this for both clips and snapshots. I spend a lot of time renaming the files as I am saving them and would like to come up with a way to change this to default, or at least have a script that will do it for me.
I came up with a powershell script that I have to copy the default name in the save file dialog box, run the script and paste the new value back in the save dialog box. This is still pretty clumsy and only works for the snapshots since they have the time of the incident instead of the time of the start of the .bvr file. If it is a clip. I have to enter the start time of the clip manually still.
$gc = Get-Clipboard
$lg = $gc.Length
if ($lg -eq '29'){
$nv = $gc.Substring(14,4)
Set-Clipboard -Value $nv
}
else
{
$nv = $gc.Substring(15,4)
Set-Clipboard -Value $nv
}
What would be ideal is a way to change the default settings of BI. Anyone know if that is possible or have a better way of handling this?
Thanks
