[Feature Request] Date and time representation in a file naming convention #29

Closed n0v0leg closed 1 month ago

n0v0leg commented 4 years ago

Request: Please provide a file naming convention with an unambiguous date and time representation, where values are ordered from the largest to smallest unit of time.

Reason 1: Current convention does not allow files to be naturally sorted by name. Reason 2: Current convention is ambiguous for the international users since date and time representation vary by country.

A minimal solution would be to modify the current convention by swapping the day and the year: 2020.05.19 17.31.00 An orthodox solution would be to adhere to an ISO 8601 standard, for example: 20200519173100+0300 Personally, I would prefer something which resembles the default android camera app naming convention, by replacing IMG/ VID prefix with REC or AUD: REC_20200519_173100 AUD_20200519_173100

TimeUtils.java#L47 Is the format I proposed as a minimal solution. TimeUtils.java#L49 is the format I see in my application.

That would be great! An ideal solution would be to support printf-like or strftime-like custom format, so a user could compose any naming.

yes, as this could be just additional option(s) in the drowpdown menu, no need to replace the existing ones. I would prefer ISO date like yyyy-mm-dd HH-MM-SS That would be totally awesome!

Added naming format 'yyyy-MM-dd HH.mm.ss' in this commit https://github.com/Dimowner/AudioRecorder/commit/d90690a8408e153ec79f0ee99f8ee0e1d1abd31e
