my canon camera creates serialized filenames, …1.jpg, …2.jpg…
i need to move the jpg file to an archive directory or delete the file.
all the Windows scheduler that i found there are very expensive (100$).
this what “41South” executed by himself
Canon Remote Capture only serializes the number if there is an existing picture with the base file name already. To explain, I set my capture file name as webcam.jpg, if that file exists then webcam1.jpg will be created. So what I do is move the webcam.jpg file to an archive directory using a simple batch file run by Windows scheduler. I take pictures every 5 minutes and set the archive job to run every 1-2 minutes. If there is no file then the job just exits. In this way Remote Capture always saves the file as webcam.jpg so WD (or whatever you are using) knows what to look for.
