Renaming saved frames.
Nov 14th, 2009, 6:34am  
Hi is it possible to do something similar to using saveFrame with the '####.jpg' format, but instead of adding the frame number onto the filename, I want to have a variable in my sketch that goes up by 1 each time the key is pressed (otherwise the file-numbers become irregular and huge!).


So it would create:

image1.jpg - pressed once
image2.jpg - pressed twice
image3.jpg - pressed thrice!

instead of:

image0102.jpg - pressed once
image0456.jpg - pressed twice
image1200.jpg - pressed thrice!

thats new to me that it adds the frame number. Shouldnt it count up ?

anyway, you can just create a variable itself. call it whatever you want and count it up everytime the mouse is clicked and then use
saveFrame("screen"+i+".jpg");
