WinPhotoAcquireSettingsMBS.AcquisitionDateTime as DateTime

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Windows Photos	MBS WinFrameworks Plugin	20.5	❌ No	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

The acquisition time explicitly.

This property is typically used to force two sessions to show the same acquisition time. If not explicitly set, acquisition time defaults to the current machine time.

WinPhotoAcquireSettingsMBS.GroupTag as String

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Windows Photos	MBS WinFrameworks Plugin	20.3	❌ No	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

The group tag for an acquisition session.

The group tag is stored as a keyword in each file's metadata. It is also used in the file name if the $(GroupTag) token is present in the format string passed to OutputFileNameTemplate.

WinPhotoAcquireSettingsMBS.Handle as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Windows Photos	MBS WinFrameworks Plugin	20.3	❌ No	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

The internal object reference.

WinPhotoAcquireSettingsMBS.OutputFilenameTemplate as String

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Windows Photos	MBS WinFrameworks Plugin	20.3	❌ No	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Specifies a format string (template) that specifies the format of file names.

Format strings contain a mix of path literals and tokens. A format string looks like the following:

$(MyPicturesFolder)\$(DateAcquired), $(EventName)\$(EventName) $(SequenceNumber).$(OriginalExtension)

The token format looks like the following, where OptionalPrefix and OptionSuffix are suppressed if the replacement for the TokenIdentifier yields a zero-length string:

$([OptionalPrefix]TokenIdentifier:SubToken[OptionalSuffix]|AlternateString)

The caret ("^") is an escape character, so "^$" would yield "$" in the final path.
Parentheses and brackets are not allowed as literals within tokens, but can be used outside of tokens. This means you cannot use "[", "]", "(", or ")" within the OptionalString sub-token unless they are escaped with a caret ("^").
There are a few different classes of tokens, including the following:
SHGetSpecialFolder variables such as the following. These must be the first token, and can only occur once, at most:

• MyPicturesFolder
• MyDocumentsFolder

Session variables such as the following:

• SequenceNumber (The sequence number is used to avoid filename collisions; if it exists, it must be in the file name portion of the path.)
• DateAcquired
• EventName
• UserName
• MachineName

File and metadata variables such as the following:

• DateTaken
• OriginalFilename
• OriginalExtension
• CameraModel
• Width
• Height

Since these tokens are not intended to be visible to users, they will not be localized. For example, $(DateTaken) will be the same on all versions of Microsoft Windows, regardless of locale or language settings.
As an example, suppose EventName is "Meghan's Birthday" and the naming pattern is as follows:

$(MyPicturesFolder)\$(DateAcquired)$([, ]EventName)\$(EventName[ ])$(SequenceNumber).$(OriginalExtension)
The resulting files would be named as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\shauniv\My Documents\My Pictures\2003-11-14, Meghan's Birthday\Meghan's Birthday 001.jpg
C:\Documents and Settings\shauniv\My Documents\My Pictures\2003-11-14, Meghan's Birthday\Meghan's Birthday 002.jpg
C:\Documents and Settings\shauniv\My Documents\My Pictures\2003-11-14, Meghan's Birthday\Meghan's Birthday 003.jpg
C:\Documents and Settings\shauniv\My Documents\My Pictures\2003-11-14, Meghan's Birthday\Meghan's Birthday 004.jpg

WinPhotoAcquireSettingsMBS.SequencePaddingWidth as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Windows Photos	MBS WinFrameworks Plugin	20.3	❌ No	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

A value indicating how wide sequential fields in filenames will be.

If the value passed to SetSequencePaddingWidth is nonzero and the format string specified in SetOutputFileNameTemplate contains a sequential token, this method sets the width allotted for the sequential token. For example, given the template $(GroupTag)$(AcquisitionSequence).$(OriginalExtension), if padding is set to 0, a file name might appear as

"Image1.jpg"

If padding is set to 3, the file name may appear as

"Image 1.jpg"

WinPhotoAcquireSettingsMBS.SequenceZeroPadding as Boolean

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Windows Photos	MBS WinFrameworks Plugin	20.3	❌ No	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Whether zeros or spaces are used to pad sequential file names.

Flag that, if set to true, indicates that zeros pad sequential file names.
