Keep same directory for complete session


jpettit

Question

Hi,

 

When imaging for many hours, let's say from 11PM to 6 AM, a directory is automatically created with the first image, labeled as the date.

And after on, all the images are stored in this directory.

 

But after some time, not at midnight, but at a random time after midnight, a new directory is created, with the new date (D+1).

 

From my point of view, this is a minor bug (the directory should change at midnight), but it could also be an option :

 

- create a new directory at midnight with the new date

or

- keep the initial directory for the complete session, regardless of the new date at midnight.

 

This is useful when using PHDMax for dithering (it monitors a specific directory)

 

Thanks,

 

Regards

 

J.Pettit

It is not random and it is working as intended.

 

The folder is 6am based.  All images before 6am will be stored in a folder dated the day before.

 

This is to ensure all images from a single imaging night be store in the same folder.

 

EDIT: If you are saying the folder is changing not at 6am then this is a bug.

 

Regards,
