I asked Robin at PAS how to get SC to save lights/darks/flats/etc in folders showing what type of frame they are. I assumed that selecting the drop down menu accordingly this would happen but it doesn't. What is the additional tweak in settings/filenames I have to make?

Hi,

you need to set up file name templates manually (see https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.0/#Filename%20Templates) and include the '{FrameType}' tag in the file name or path name.

As I mentioned at the show, I will try to make this something that can be enabled via the 'easy' checkbox way to configure file names.

cheers,

Robin
