Implement default meaningful filename when saving captures
Description of the feature you're suggesting.
Problem: The current default filenames have few (maybe 5 maximum) "funny" names which don't mean anything relevant. The flipper clickable buttons are very impractical to change these filenames.
Proposed solution: Remove the default funny names and implement a meaningful standard timestamp YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS + capture type + frequency. Possible example: 20220917-123030-RAW-434Mhz
Anything else?
No response
That PR is a good first step. However, I was rather thinking about doing this sytemwide for all capture types, meaning RFID, NFC, SubGhz and potentially for fap allowing file saving.
I would rather have it reuse the previously saved filename and add a number to it. That way I could do multiple recordings, and maybe only change the last digits of the filename to store something meaningful.
Just a thought.
(The timestamps are available on the filesystem, so if you take the files to a computer using the sdcard, you can view them there.)
One of limitations that we have is a small screen. Putting everything into file name will make it unreadable on device. We'll think about changing naming scheme system wide.
I actually wanted to open a PR where under Settings, one would be able to switch between file name types for all applications. Unfortunately, neither my C / C++ skills, nor the amount of my free time allowed this to happen.
However, I would suggest to go into a more customisable direction with such things: allow users to switch between different degrees of precision. From random to timestamp with protocol and what not...
