Time in Filename not updating, only index number

Hello,

I customized the folder/filename specification string and noticed that it is not always updating the DateTime. It does increment the index.
Here's the spec. string I'm using:
{Date:SZ}Z\{FrameType}\Cap_{DateTime:SZ}_{index}_INFO_{TargetName}_{Camera}

Hi John,

{DateTime} is the time that the capture started, so does not update for subsequent frames. You can use {FrameTime} if you want the time of the frame itself, which will update from frame to frame.

cheers,

Robin
