Automatic track file rolling numbering when saving a track

Recommended Posts

After each flight in the debriefing window there is possibility to save a track.

And the system automatically fills in to track name the previous saved track filename.

 

That makes it easy to overwrite an existing track (previous) but as well it requires one to reach for a keyboard (physical or virtual) and give a track name a proper unique name.

 

Wish is to add a rolling numbering to the filename. Automatic file name filling could as well be used like:

 

<YYYY-MM-DD>-<Mission_name>-##.trk

 

This could help making the bug reports when you are repeating some process and you want to get each time tracks saved when found something, but not to go all the hassle through to input unique filenames each time. Adding <HH-MM> as time of saving works too, but rolling number is better. If using a time as addition, it leaves away the requirement to check existing files with the same number etc, so that is its benefit as very unlikely someone try to save a track under same minute twice.

 

This is not about "auto saving SP tracks" but just:

 

1) Automatic default filename per date-mission_file-01-99.trk when "Save Track" is pressed.

 

2) Avoid using keyboard if not wanted to write some own name.

 

The DCS does save automatically a last Single-Player flight to a

IMHO that could be extended as well to 3-5 last tracks to be saved with the rolling numbering. Disk space is almost free, 1 GB costs cents and one track file being few megabytes doesn't take much space.
