You can use Metadata Values to automatically build the filename for a Recording. You need a Metadata Set to continue (as explained in the previous chapter). For this example, we will use the “example.xml” file (included by default in the delivery of just:in linux).
This is how it will be displayed in the Just Control Inspector.
Example
You can use each element of a Metadata Set within a Naming Preset. In the example above this would be "quality", "customText" and "special". Open the Just Control Configuration panel and switch to the “Naming Presets” tab. Create a new Preset and instead of using "%" + the variable name, use "!" + the variable name, as shown below.
Now switch back to Just Control and select the new Naming Preset and adjust the Metadata Set values. The Naming Presets variables will be changed accordingly.
This is an easy and efficient way to handle the file naming process by using Metadata Set values.
Avoid using any special characters such as "/", or ":", as they may cause issues with the file system. If you use these characters, you will encounter an "Invalid Filename" error message, and recording will not commence.
