How to Change the File Name of Saved Recordings, Audio Recordings, or Captures

Click Tools - Options in the top menu of oCam.

Then click the Save tab on the left to set the file name for saved files.


 


By default, files are saved in the following format.

<Prefix>_<YYYY_MM_DD_HH_NN_SS_Z>

The text inside the <> brackets uses special keywords. These keywords can represent the prefix, date, serial number, program name, user ID, and user name.


With the default settings, when recording starts and then finishes, the file is saved in the format Recording_2015_05_07_14_22_41_791. If you only want to change the word Recording at the beginning, you can change it as follows.


Test_<YYYY_MM_DD_HH_NN_SS_Z>

If you do this, the file will be saved in the format Test_2015_05_07_14_22_41_791 after recording is completed.


If you want to add a serial number after Test instead of the date,

set it to Test_<#>, and it will be saved as Test_1... Test_2 ... Test_3...................... Test_10.
