Name of the video for the name of the snapshot

[Ysl]

Hi

When I save a screen snapshot they are automatically named vlcsnap001.png then 002.png and so on

Would it be possible to have an option to save the snapshot with the same name as the video ?

"Michael.wmv" would have a "Michael001.png" snapshot...easy, no ?

Thank you for a great program !

It is.

Code: Select all

--scene-prefix=snap

or

Code: Select all

--snapshot-prefix=snap

will make everything start with snap
there is also format strings in case you need some sort automation

Thank you for your help !

Sorry for my ignorance but where do I have to paste this code ?

I tried in the preferences/videos/snapshot/prefix but the result was "--snapshot-prefix=snap00001.jpg"

So not the name of the video in the name of the picture...

I gave command-line parameters. If you use GUI, you just put snap (or what you like) to Video snapshot file prefix.

Thanks again but it still doesnt work for me !

If I put "snap" in the preferences/videos/snapshot/prefix, the result is :

preferences/videos/snapshot/prefix "snap2010-05-15-20h20m34s173.jpg"

But still not the name of the video file...

Snap is just an example, you could try $N
