[WT-support] Recorder files naming

[Tõnno Vähk]

Crazy stuff, I was trying to figure out what is the system of naming the MP3 files by Recorder and how to assign a recording to a STN. There is no info on that anywhere as much as I see.

Can someone explain the system of the names. What are the obligatory parts of the MP3 file name? How does WT link a certain file to a certain station? I need this when I use separate computer for recording and want to assign to the MP3 file to QSOs of a particular station later.

With my testing I found that in order for WT to accept existence of a recording the minimum name is - 1_000.MP3. Can't leave out any of the zeros or "_" and first sign has to be number! What does this mean?

And secondly - the log file has to be named then 1_.wt4 (whatever is before 000!), otherwise the sound file will be recognized and played but as soon as you try to rewind or forward WT crashes.

I had recordings on two stations and both are located in the same log directory and if I name log file 1_.wt4, STN1 recording 1_000.MP3 and STN 2 recording 2_000.MP3 then I can nicely play from one log both files respectively to which station had the QSO and I can rewind and forward.

When I change the names of recordings or log file, WT recognizes still files (but crashes at rewind or forward attempt). And even if I swap the names it sill knows which recording is for STN1 and STN2 - how does he know that??? In other words - can I take any MP3 file and assign it as recording of one station or not?
