How to increment Image name ?
-
@Cobra91151 it returns the image number, let's say we took 8 pictures, "id" will b equal to 8. it increments with the number of images taken, but its problem is whenever i want to reset it to 0 it doesn't do that it keeps its last value.
@hamzaelazizi I would suggest to not to use the id passed from the signal. Use your own id variable (as class member).

Your solution works well but counts from the second picture
2.png, since1 + (id % 11), otherwise the second count would start from0. So, I have improved it a bit by removing the1 +from modulo operation and adding the check for< 1.Your solution using class member variable as identifier would also work nice.
My code:
QCamera *camera = new QCamera(this); QCameraImageCapture *imageCapture = new QCameraImageCapture(camera); connect(imageCapture, &QCameraImageCapture::imageCaptured, [=](int id, QImage img) { qDebug() << "ID: " << id; int imgID = id % 11; if (imgID < 1) { imgID = 1; } QString path = QString("%1/%2.png").arg(QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::PicturesLocation), QString::number(imgID)); qDebug() << path; img.save(path, "PNG"); }); camera->setCaptureMode(QCamera::CaptureStillImage); camera->start(); ui->pushButton_4->setText("Capture"); connect(ui->pushButton_4, &QPushButton::clicked, [camera, imageCapture, this]() { camera->searchAndLock(); imageCapture->capture(); camera->unlock(); });Result:

imgID = id;" but when i took "imgID" inside the method, it kept only overwriting on image N°1.@hamzaelazizi The method suggested by @Cobra91151 will not work as changing a parameter passed by value has NO effect on the original variable! Use your own id as I suggested above.

Hello Everyone, as i was continuing to work on an application, i came across this issue an i still couldn't solve it for more than 4 days now. The issue is that i cannot increment the naming of the saved images to a certain number and then comeback to the number 0 and start overwriting those images until i reach than number again and so on repeatedly!
let me give u an example : i want to save 10 Images and i want them to be names "1.png", "2.png"......"10.png", but i want the 11th one to overwrite the "1.png", 12th to overwrite the "2.png" and so on.i've tried multiple approaches but none of them worked! :(
here's my code, thank you
QObject::connect(_image_capture.data(), &QCameraImageCapture::imageCaptured, [=] (int id, QImage img) { QString fileName = QString::number(id)+ ".png"; QString path = QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::PicturesLocation) + "/" + fileName; img.save(path, "PNG"); });@hamzaelazizi said in How to increment Image name ?:

I don't know how you are generating the ID, if it is a free running counter why not use the modulo function?
QString fileName = QString("%1.png").arg(1 + (id % 11));It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. (Sherlock Holmes)

I see! :D
So this would also not work!
Then I don't see another solution as what @jsulm already suggested: use class member to store the counter value -

Okay, I never used
QCameraImageCapture, so I supposed the ID would be the ID of the used camera and not if the image...
Maybe I should avoid the reply to posts for topics I not experimented in!It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. (Sherlock Holmes)

Yes and you initialize it with 0. Each time your slot is called you increment it and check whether it is bigger than the max id value you want to use, if it is you set it back to 0.

@jsulm something like this ?
QObject::connect(_image_capture.data(), &QCameraImageCapture::imageCaptured, [=] (int id=0, QImage img) { int idx = 0; if(idx>=11) { idx=0; } else { idx++; } QString fileName = QString::number(idx) + ".png"; QString path = QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::PicturesLocation) + "/" + fileName; img.save(path, "PNG"); });Because i've tried this and it didn't work :/
