How to capture to a file with a predetermined name

[vertgo]

Let's say I am iterating between files 1-100, and i want to name them photo_001.jpg, photo_002.jpg what can I do to capture an image with a name I'm giving it, like the equivalent function on command line? I'm having a hard time finding something similar in the examples?

I don't think you can control the file name used to store them on the camera. When you import to the computer you can store them under any name you like though. Something like this:

path = camera.capture(gp.GP_CAPTURE_IMAGE, context)
camera_file = camera.file_get(path.folder, path.name, gp.GP_FILE_TYPE_NORMAL, context)
camera_file.save('/home/vertgo/Pictures/photo_{:03d}.jpg'.format(shot_number))

Thanks! I'll try it
