Renaming Media Files
WinCan VX creates unique file names in the background for every video clip recorded and every photo taken. However, all the media file names contain a part that is customized at the beginning of the name with the section or the start node ID, thereby retaining the unique file index required by the operating system while still making the file easy to locate.
