Improving file generation output #29

Open TomBazley opened 2 years ago

TomBazley commented 2 years ago

Hi,

I think the way files are generated could be improved. Currently all files are generated into one directory. When testing with one car and one circuit, the telemetry files are named very similarly. It can be difficult to find the files you are looking for.

Instead, it would be useful if a directory was created for each car, then each circuit having its own directory within the car directory. For example, [export directory]\dallarap217\roadamerica\full, [export directory]\mercedesamggt3\nurburgring\combinedshortb, etc. With this change, the file names would no longer need to be prefixed with [car ID]_[circuit ID].

It would also be helpful if it was possible to choose the information in the file name. In Mu's settings menu, the user could configure the name depending on their preference by selecting from and combining a number of different variables. The user could choose the car name, the circuit name, the setup name, the fastest lap time, the average lap time, the number of laps in the stint, the starting fuel load, etc. As an example, the current formatting would be something like [car ID]_[circuit ID] [date] [time] [stint] displayed as dallarap217_roadamerica full 2022-08-13 01-23-45_Stint_1.ld but could be changed to [setup] [laps] [fuel] [time] displayed as setup_1 10_laps 75L 01-23-45.ld.

Hmm but isn‘t that information anyway available when you select the files to open in MoTec?

You're given [car ID]_[circuit ID] [date] [time] [stint] by default in the file name. The .ld files need to be opened with MoTeC to get any more information.

Well you will have to start MoTec and open the "File Open Dialog". There you get most of the information you are looking for. If some colums are not shown just try a right click at the top and it will offer you "Edit colums..."
