Camera Custom Folder Name - Available Variables?
I saw the video on customer folder names. Are all of the possible variables documented somewhere? I got the mission.name to come through correctly but not the component name or the timestamp. The timestamp could be useful if the same mission is ran more than one-time, the timestamp should create unique folder for each time the mission is run.
{mission.name}/{component.name}/date-timestamp

The timestamp comes through by default - I have a mission where I break things into map, images and panos and each is named as such. When I run the mission the outputs are put into folders as such:
DJI_202501120952_001_Map
DJI_202501121019_007_Images
Etc.
The date and time follows DJI
Thanks Barry - are there any other variables that can be used for say the component name? The video shows the variable for the mission name and the drone name. It would be awesome if a variable for the component name were available - you'd get a folder for each map (Map Pass 1, Map Pass 2, Obligue -45) without having to manually edit the custom folder string.
I assume you were looking at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo_0QG2PJ9o
Those are the only two variables that I am aware of but maybe Jim McAndrew can provide more info on any new variables that might have been made available since I made that video.
Thanks again, and yes, that's the video I watched. You guys have been at this a lot longer than me so I try to search the forums before making a new post. I spent 30 years in the software business, so I get the pains associated with documentation. But, with so much history out on the internet, it can be hard to get to the current functionality. Good thing we have forums like this and people willing to help!
Totally get it. I make the videos to try to help people (I don't get paid for it - wish I did!) but, in some ways it's a double edged sword.
Videos reach more people and are better at getting a message across. But they can become out of date very quickly and, possibly, leave people with the wrong information.
Only variables available right now are
{drone.name}and{mission.name}Please sign in to leave a comment.
