Anyone know why Sharpcap seems to go out of sync with filenames? It starts of naming my SER/AVI and image txt file the same but then seems to name the txt info file to next number in sequence as in image below. This makes it difficult to work out which image info file goes with which image file if I want to check the settings later on.
File names not matching IMG txt file?

Hi Steve,
that's odd - can you let me know about your filenaming settings and how you are running multiple SER captures in a row (are you using the sequencing tools or manually)?
cheers,
Robin

Re: File names not matching IMG txt file?
Ah, OK, I see now... the joy of WinJupos compatible file names 
The last number in a WinJupos file name is how far through the current minute you are measured in 6 second blocks (because, you know, just using the number of seconds since the minute would have been too easy...). The specification requires the time specified to be the middle of the recording, so SharpCap renames the capture file when the capture is complete (the middle time is unknown until the capture is over). It looks like the capture settings file does not get renamed, so it keeps the timing from the start of the capture. I will see if I can fix that
cheers,
Robin
