File to disk saves multiple identical images
Posted: Sat Oct 05, 2013 2:55 pm
I do not know if this is a bug or another kind of problem... but here is what happens:
Have been using FTP upload (every 10 minutes) for years and it works fine (no "multiple identical images").
A week ago we had several days with beautiful sunsets/evenings and I wanted to take a shot at making a TimeLapse
...so I entered settings - file and an image to be saved to local disk every 30 seconds with "I want to include the date and time in the file name". What happened was that Yawcam stores ONE image every 30 second as it should but as many as 5 images after one another turns out to be exactly the same image. This happens time after time during the day I enabled file save. First I was not 100 % sure the images were identical... but then came the ferry... and it does not remain exactly (and I mean exactly) at the same spot unless it is by the dock - and it was not. This was 5 images with half a minute in between showing the ferry in exactly the same spot on its way to port for unloading cars. Checking more images thoroughly I can see that Yawcam stores identical images MANY times a day instead of only storing new updated images.

What might be wrong and what can I hopefully do with that?
