This article describes how the file names for video clips, photos and PDF-reports can be customized inside a WinCanVX project using a predefined field combination.
File renaming for video clips (e.g. AssetID_Date_Time)
Go to Tools>MiscTools>ProjectMediaFile Renaming>Settings
Select a predefined renaming pattern (e.g. Australia, Gold Coast City Council, Switzerland CH Interlis (Number) etc.)-> if the result doesn’t satisfy the end customer, continue with the next steps.
Select the renaming pattern Custom instead:
Hit the gear wheel icon right to the text box linked to Sec/Lat video:
Browse for each field needed to build up the file name from the list box to right (1): OBJ_Key (for AssetID), INS_StartDate (for Date), INS_StartTime (for Time)
Double click on the highlighted field. This is going to copy the desired field to the text box at the left (2)
Grab the field FreeText and enter the character “_” (3)
Use the arrow buttons in case you need to change the field order (4)
Check the renaming pattern in the preview field (5)
If the renaming is not done completely re-open the media renaming dialogue and add the field Sequence at the end of the name to make sure the file names will be unique:
Confirm these settings
Run the command Tools>MiscTools>ProjectMediaFile Renaming>SectionAssets: this is going to apply the renaming pattern to the existing section videos:
Open the project subfolder \Video\Sec and check the new file names
File renaming for PDF documents (e.g. AssetID_Date_Time)
Go to Printing>Printing Panel and hit the gear wheel icon left to the printing button (1):
Check the option Execute document renaming (2)
Either select the renaming preset Gold Coast City Council, Australia (3) or de-activate this preset and define your own renaming settings
Hit the button Edit preset (4)
Keep in mind that media files should have an unique name! Please use the simulation first, so you are able to check the result before.
