Description Fabian Greffrath 2014-04-10 08:39:25 UTC
Hi there,

transmageddon saves its video results with file names that consist of the original file name plus an appendix that indicates the time stamp of the conversion. Currently, the "-%H%M%S-%d%m%Y" format is used for the time stamps. This is, however, misleading [1]:
- It orders by time and not by date. This means that videos converted on the same day are not ordered together but ordered together with videos converted on other days at about the same time.
- The date is not ordered by year, but by day of month, which results in a similar confusing ordering as the first point.
- The time does not include time zone information, which may result in confusion if videos are shared between time zones.

To overcome all of these issues, I suggest the following strftime format in src/transmageddon.px:943:

"-%Y%m%d-%H%M%S%z"

Thank you!

Fabian
