Topic: recording filenames
Is there a script or some setting to automatically assign a recording filename base on date and time? e.g. 2308051513

make filename
%date%time

is there a way to show the date in the UK format of Day Month Year?

YYYYMMDD is superior as it date sorts with alphabetising the file names
but if you want to open yourself to less than optimum naming

You'll have to set it with script for now
[@devs seems dataFormat setting doesn't change %date]

This is an example local for me

set $dateString `param_add 'get_date "%d-%m-%Y"' 'get_text "C:\Users\user\Desktop\"'` & set $dateString `param_add 'get_text ".mp3"' 'get_var $dateString'` & get_var $dateString & param_cast & setting recordFile

or
get_text "c:\Users\user\Desktop\`get_date '%d-%m-%Y'`.mp3" & param_cast 'text' & setting recordFile


you could make it part of your oninint so the name is formatted ready when you press record
