Timer Date Stamp
Timer Date Stamp
There are six
types of date stamps that you can append to the timer filename.
|
##/##/##
|
Either DD/MM/YY
or YY/MM/DD depending on date format setting
|
|
##-##-##
|
Either DD-MM-YY
or YY-MM-DD depending on date format setting
|
|
######
|
Either DDMMYY or
YYMMDD depending on date format setting
|
|
##/##
|
Either DD/MM or
MM/DD depending on date format setting
|
|
MMDD
|
|
|
DDD
|
|
If the filename
ends with a space followed by one of the above date stamps then PBK will replace
the date stamp with the date the timer is next scheduled to run. For
example if you setup a weekday timer with the filename "Simpsons - ##/##/##" and
it records on the 13/12/2004 and 14/12/2004 the recorded files will be named "Simpsons
- 13/12/2004" and "Simpsons - 14/12/2004". The date stamping
works by changing the filename in the scheduled timer before the file is
recorded. When the timer rolls forward to the next date PBK compares the date
recorded in the timer filename with the date it is next scheduled to run and
changes the timer filename if required.
The date stamps
have been added to the Topfield Keyboard Enhancements filelist. To append a date
stamp to an existing timer, edit the timer via the Topfield Timer Setting menu,
once the Topfield keyboard is displayed move the cursor down to the filename and
then to the end of the filename. Once the cursor is positioned at the end of the
filename press the TimerList key to display the filelist menu and select the
required date stamp.
If you are
running the Tony's TimerExtend, extend option then make sure you leave the
_+ or _# at the end of the filename. eg. "Simpsons_+" becomes "Simpsons
##-##-##_+".
Timer Date Stamp
- DD/MM/YY or YY/MM/DD
You can choose
to stamp filename with the date in DD/MM/YY or YY/MM/DD formats. Dates in
YY/MM/DD format will sort in ascending order correctly. You will find this
option in the Settings Menu.
