Ekos folder variables

[Patrick Molenaar]

Hi,

I have been creating some capture sequences and use one sequences for capturing various objects.
However, in the sequence file the location (folder) where the captured images will be stored is fixed. This means that when I want to use exactly the same sequence for another object, I need to update the directory location each time, otherwise the captured images will be put in the same folder each time.

Is it possible to use variables in the folder name, to dynamically create a file path where the captured images need to be stored.

E.g.:Directory: /home/myusername/Documents/%DATE_YYYYMMDD%_%TARGET%

When I target NGC7000, then this should put capture files in a folder named:
/home/myusername/Documents/20211125_NGC7000
And next time I capture M31 the capture files should be put in a folder named: /home/myusername/Documents/20211125_M31

I hope this is possible and that this can be used in the schedular as well. As the scheduler has a 'Target' name which could be something that could be used as variable in a path '%TARGET%'.

If this is already possible, then where can I find which variables I can use.

Kind regards,
Patrick
