Is there some way to shorten the filenames in BYN?


dtlocke

Question

Is there some way to control the filename behavior in Backyard Nikon that I'm not seeing?  Looks like I am stuck with a minimum of 44 characters from BYN, e.g.:

LIGHT_300_400iso_4-0_20160506-02h25m22s155m

 

I like to use long and nested descriptive file names and I found myself running into Windows path restrictions exacerbated by BYN's love of long file names ;-)

 

The date, time, and ISO of my images are already recorded by the file system, so I'm hoping there's some way I'm not seeing to turn all that off.

 

Thanks for any help!

Actually, the OS is simply reading the EXIF Image Data (provided that you have Codec(s) for the Image Formats that you are Viewing).

 

You'll need to be careful, as several of the Image Calibration / Stacking / Processing Apps will strip / discard that EXIF Data during Processing and leave you with Nothing...
