    Output file mask format:

    [source] uses the name of the source file for the target.

    [n] macros automatically numbers the (one or more) target. Target will automatically be numbered, if parameter is set, even if source name is not used.

    [n:4] macros is the current number of fragment with defined minimum number of characters printed. Zeros are added to the left of the values.

    [time] macros is intended for defining the current date time of the output file name.

    [n:resetnextday] output number will be incremented during a day and reset nte next day.

    [time] output current date and time in the following structure: YYYY_MM_DD_hh_mm_ss.

    [time:YYYMMDD] output current date and time in the user-defined structure. in this example - YYYYMMDD.

    [computerid] outputs the idendificator of the working PC. It can be set in the Computer ID field.

    To add the required macros just click on the button with the macros name and then change it in the Mask of the output files names field if needed.

    You can change the order of this macroses to get the files with names that will be suitable for you.

    To reset the mask to initial view, just click on the Reset to defaults button.

    Below please find examples of mask templates and the output files names.
