Timestamp after Filename

[ZeroWalker]

I would like there to be a timestamp after the filename, like:

MySettings - 2014-05-28 00-35-26-474

Now i actually added this in my modded version along with YV24, though i find it quite frustrating to have to redo it every time it get's updated.

While YV24 i can understand you don't want, however timestamp is quite nice for many reasons, that's why it's so common in capture software.


Here is how i implemented it.

if (bUseDateTimeName)
{
String strFileName = GetPathFileName(strOutputFile);

//if (!strFileName.IsValid() || !IsSafeFilename(strFileName))
{
SYSTEMTIME st;
GetLocalTime(&st);

String strDirectory = GetPathDirectory(strOutputFile);
String file = strOutputFile.Right(strOutputFile.Length() - strDirectory.Length());
String extension;

if (!file.IsEmpty())
extension = GetPathExtension(file.Array());

if (extension.IsEmpty())
extension = TEXT("mp4");
strOutputFile = FormattedString(TEXT("%s/%s %u-%02u-%02u %02u-%02u-%02u-%02u.%s"), strDirectory.Array(), strFileName.Array(), st.wYear, st.wMonth, st.wDay, st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wSecond, st.wMilliseconds, extension.Array());
}
}

Now as you can see, i am simply using the preexisting code, so in my case i don't have any checks to control wether i want the timestamp or not, it will just use the timestamp after the name.

bUseDateTimeName is always True, and this comes before the other:

if(!bOverwrite && (hFind = OSFindFirstFile(strOutputFile, ofd)))



But at least it should be easy to implement, with a checkbox or something (have no idea have to add GUI stuff in C++ as it's all just codes).

So, what do you think;D?

Enter % as the file name under Settings > Broadcast Settings and OBS will generate a file name automatically based on the date and time.

I know that, but i want "Name" + "TimeStamp" :)

I think it easier to identify, than just a random timestamp.
But well just a suggestion.
