Automatic GPX file names generated are errorneous

[navnerd]

Automatic GPX file names generated by DMD2 are errorneous. You would expected the following format:

YY_MM_DD-hh_mm_ss

with:

YY-year
MM-month
DD-Day
hh-hour
mm-minute
ss-second

However, “MM” records the minute in the date, not the month! 🙁

As an example, a recording of today showed:

23_39_07-08_39_08

 

Device: SAMSUNG Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G
Android 13, One UI 5.1

Thanks, John, for the hypersonic fix speed! 🙂

Hi John,

Unfortunately, it seems the fix doesn’t work. Just installed version 3.00009. With it, I got the following automatically generated name:

70_00_01-01_00_00
??

(Device again the SAMSUNG Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G, Android 13, One UI 5.1)

If you have to touch the code therefore again, could you change the automatically generated name into the following format:

YYYYMMDD-hhmmss

This is the same format that many (if not most) digital camera apps name image files and has the following advantages:
a) Shorter (2 digits less, and especially no long underscores, so less space needed on the screen),
b) Starting with YYYY makes it safer against confusion due to different date abbreviation conventions in different regions of the world (e.g. YYMMDD or DDMMYY :-()

Thanks a lot!

If it helps for debugging: Today morning the automatic file name generated was:

23_03_08-08_03_35

Same Samsung device.

Is fixed and it works (observed in 3.00013, but I think it worked already one or two releases ago)! Great to see that the app is constantly updated and improved.

Thanks, John!

Hi all! Have started using this great app but this question still seems to be a problem 🙁

1) File name is “70_01_01_-_01_00_00.gpx” everytime.

2) File overwrites if existing! (I managed to overwrite my last recording 🙁 ..)

Don’t know if I have missed something because @navnerd says it is solved!? :/

[Daniel]

ok, I solved it, or rather João did in another thread. For some reason it doesn’t work if the recording is faulty which was my case because I didn’t pass 3 km/h on my test walks. But when on bicycle (my motorcycle is not in use during winter) it actually works and file name magically becomes correct also! Great news (don’t know about the overwrite thing but that will not be a problem if the date/time stamp is working)
