How To Customize Your Saved Files Names

The feature 'Customizable Saving Folder', allows you to customize the name of the folder where your file will be saved upon downloading. The folder name may be determined according to the date of the download, the server you have downloaded from etc.

Below please find a short tutorial of the feature.



DAP Customized naming is very simple, you can instruct DAP to name the files according to predefined categories, use your own text or combine the categories with free text.

The correct structure of the naming system is: %Parameter%
You can combine as many parameters you want by keeping that structure : %Param1%Param2%Param3%

Note: you don't have to use double % to string the name (i.e. %Param1%%Param2%).

Name	Use	Explanation	Example
SERVER	%SERVER%	Writes the name of the server	www.speedbit.com
PROTOCOL	%PROTOCOL%	Writes the protocol that was used	http, ftp, https, etc.
PATH	%PATH%	writes the path of the file	/pub/downloads/032003/
EXT	%EXT%	adds the extension of the file	exe, doc, avi, etc.
YYYY	%YYYY%	writes the year in 4 digits	2003
YY	%YY%	writes the year in 2 digits	03
MM	%MM%	Month in digits	12
MON	%MON%	Month in Abbreviation	Dec
DAY	%DAY%	Day in Abbreviation	Sun
DD	%DD%	Day in Digits	26
HH	%HH%	Hours in 24 format	14

Note: Some characters are not allowed: / : * ? " < > |

The Character \ is used to creating subdirectories: \games - will create a folder named games under the folder you are downloading to.
