And TBH adding a name after the event is easy enough anyway. As yet I've not tried how to get the title rather than the default. But looking at the webpages on this I guess I need to add something like --prefix <title> to my command line use(?) I'll experiment. Sometimes with a series the 'episode number' is handy. But until now I've not done more than use what the default gave me, and altered that after the event on occasion. FWIW I use a small program I wrote that just reads a text file that lists for each item a 'mode' and a pid and it calls gip for each in turn. All else failing I could just mod that to add names I also list in the file. But obviously better if I make use of what gip can do.
