Saver name from loader

How to set saver name and location from loader by default or by script?
And can I override the 000 in image sequences, if I'm to create photos, I call let say photo_01_v01.jpg and it renders and saves photo_01_v01_0000.jpg so is it possible to remove automatic zeros in the end?

To save to "clean" image names you could try saving to an .IFL.
Basically a plain text file containing the path and name of the file.
If you want to keep your original file names you can easily generate a matching IFL
by typing at a command prompt:

Code: Select all

dir *.jpg /b >myImages.ifl

Or you could use an InTool Script on the Saver (actually a Frame Saved Script)
which I used extensively while developing the Generation Skin:

Code: Select all

path, name = string.match(filename, "^(.+[/\\])(.+)")
name, extension = string.match(name, "^(.+)(%..+)$")
barename, sequence = string.match(name, "^(.-)(%d+)$")
print("bare:"..barename..extension)
os.remove(path..barename..extension)
os.rename(filename, path..barename..extension)
os.remove(filename)


Could you please explain more, how exactly do you use this codes? What are the necessary steps for them to work?

Well...easy....
Either create an IFL by executing the DOS command in a shell.
(WindowsKey-R "cmd", or shift-RMB-"Open Command Line Here" in Explorer)
or copy the InTool script into the Saver's "Frame Saved Script" in the scripting tab.

I use Eric's method for removing the trailing number on stills. It works well.
