Custom File/Folder Naming Conventions

David Terrazas

I saw a post here, from about 3 years ago, that asked this same question.  The Dronelink staffer replied: "We have been asking DJI for this feature for years and they say it is not possible due to camera firmware limitations."

DJI Pilot 2 app with Mavic 3 Enterprise series drones has now appended the mission names to the folder they get stored in.
Is there any possibility Dronelink do the same

    It looks like it may be possible with this API now.

    Would you want a new command to just set the value to whatever you want (could be placed anywhere in the mission, or even multiple times between components for example), or are you wanting DL to decide something automagically?

    Being able to say insert such a command into an existing camera settings list would be good, and personnally I t hink I'd prefer that over the automagic version

    Just adding the Plan name to the folder would be awesome.  The area I am really concerned with is... if I have flights in mission components, say a grid at 100ft AGL, same grid at 350ft AGL, and finally an orbit.at 100ft AGL

    Mission Component flight names could be...
    Grid-150
    Grid-350
    Orbit-100

    It would be very helpful to prepend those names to the individual images that use DJI's naming conventions, so you could easily identify them in a folder. Without having to actually open them up and look at them to see which images belong to which group.  I think right now Dronelink saves all the images in one folder with unique names.


    Examples...
    Grid-150-DJI_20230722140848_0088_D.JPG
    Grid-350-DJI_20230722140848_0088_D.JPG
    Orbit-100-DJI_20230722140848_0088_D.JPG


    Thanks

    David

    Simply incrementing the folder name would be a very helpful addition. We shoot a lot of panos, having each set of HDR panos in their own folder would make editing them a breeze.

    This thread was about the M3E (MSDKv5). V4 doesn’t allow this.
