I would like to dynamically create a folder on the fly using Processing that resides in the same folder as the application. I am working on a time-lapse application that is saving a series of images.

This is what I am currently working with:

import processing.video.*;
 
Capture cam;

void setup() {
  size(800, 600);

  // If no device is specified, will just use the default.
  cam = new Capture(this, 800, 600);
 
  background(0,0,0);
  frameRate(5);
}

int i = 1;
int framesBetweenShots = 20;

void draw(){
  i++;
  int d = day();    // Values from 1 - 31
  int m = month();  // Values from 1 - 12
  int y = year();   // 2003, 2004, 2005, etc.
  int s = second();  // Values from 0 - 59
  int mi = minute();  // Values from 0 - 59
  int h = hour();    // Values from 0 - 23

 
  //String s = String.valueOf(d);
 
  if (cam.available() == true) {
    cam.read();
    image(cam, 0, 0);
  }
 
  String monthString = "";
  String dayString = "";
  String hourString = "";
  String minString = "";
  String secString = "";
 
  if(m<10){
    monthString = "0"+m;
  }else{
    monthString = ""+m;
  }
 
  if(d<10){
    dayString = "0"+d;
  }else{
    dayString = ""+d;
  }
 
  if(s<10){
    secString = "0"+s;
  }else{
    secString = ""+s;
  }
 
  if(mi<10){
    minString = "0"+mi;
  }else{
    minString = ""+mi;
  }
 
  if(h<10){
    hourString = "0"+h;
  }else{
    hourString = ""+h;
  }
 
  if( (i%framesBetweenShots) == 0){
   save((y+"-"+monthString+"-"+dayString+"-"+hourString+"-"+minString+"-"+secString+".jpg"));
  }
}

At the end, I am looking for something like:

   save((y+"-"+monthString+"-"+dayString+"-"+hourString+"-"+minString+"-"+secString+"\00001.jpg"));  // obv that last "00001" would be sequenced...

Any ideas would be very appreciated. Thanks.
