In the Movie capture dialog, you can specify where to save the individual files and specify a time in the filename that uses a different formatting than the preference. If you mouse over the Filename Template entry box, the tooltip explains the format. For example, you could use: foo%time:yyyyMMddHHmm%.png to get a filename like foo200810311200.png Is that what you are looking for? > still rainig, HP We're enjoying a beautiful fall week with blue skies and warm (23C) days.
