Saving local files limited by days

Postby mataleo » Wed Apr 11, 2012 8:50 pm

Hi.

I need to take a photo every 2 seconds for 24 hours a day but i want
to keep only for example 3 last days. I can count number of frames but it will
create a lot of files in one directory so i am using that way now:

C:\yawcam\{date}\img{43200}.jpg

But how to limit created days? Because now it will stop after 43200 files or will create new directory and start with next file set until my disk will be full.

Or maybe you now any other software to do it?

Or.. its just safe to hold over 100k files in one dir and it will not cause any windows hangups? :)

Thanks for help :)

Ok i have solved the problem other way. I store files in separate folders with date\hour\ and clean older files with another program.
