Naming Presets can be used to speed up the naming process within just:control rapidly. From automatic file numbering to timestamps and user customised variables, Naming Presets provide file naming in an efficient and straightforward way. These Presets can be defined per Device and are available for all Channels of the particular Device.

Info

Custom Variables: There are two types of custom variables. Variables with a %-sign can be modified within the Naming Section of the Inspector (Settings-Tab) and Variables without a %-sign are fixed and can not be adjusted.

Add Custom Variables

When using a %-sign before the variable or text, you can make sure that this variable can be modified within the Inspector of just:control (Settings Tab - Naming Section), when adding a variable without the %-sign, then this will be handled as static text within the file name.
