While it is possible to enter a Name for each Capture in the just:in User Interface manually, Naming Conventions can be used to speed up the naming process rapidly. From automatic file numbering to timestamps and user customized variables – Naming Presets provide file naming in an efficient and straightforward way. They are defined per Engine and are available for all Channels of the particular engine.

Overview

1. Naming Preset List: lists all available Naming Presets for the currently selected Engine. Use the plus and minus buttons at the bottom to add and remove Naming Presets.
2. Resulting Example: shows the resulting filename.
3. Variable Drop Zone: drag and drop Variables from the Variable List onto this field to create your custom Naming Preset.
4. Variable List: lists available Variables to create your custom Naming Presets. Drag and drop a Variable onto the Variable Drop Zone to create your custom Naming Preset.
5. Naming Preset Settings
   • Separator string: the separator which will be used between the Variables.
   • Date format: the date format which will be used for the %Date Variable.
   • Counter starts at: starting number for the %Counter Variable.
   • Minimum digits in counter: sets the number of digits when a Counter is used. For example when you set the number of digits to 4, any Counter will have four digits (0001, 0002, 0003…)
   • Split and chunk recording naming strategy: choose what happens with the naming of files captured in Crash Mode.
     • Counter: every chunk's filename gets a static counter Variable
