Problem getting name of recording with new recording node system

[bouromain]

Hi Arne,

Thank you again for adapting your plugin to the last version of open ephys.

On my side it correctly compile but it seem that the plugin does not manage to get the name of the currently recorded path.
In RPiCam.cpp, line 413:

String recPath = CoreServices::RecordNode::getRecordingPath().getFullPathName();
seem to always return an empty string.
Thus it falls back to your function generateDateString() and does not allow to add suffix or prefixes to the recording name.

I tried to debug it today and will insist to make it work (my knowledge of c++ is limited), but just in case, is it an isolated issue? Would you have an idea of how to return the name of the current file?

Thank you in advance.

Best

Romain

Hey Romain,

This is probably related to this issue:
open-ephys/plugin-GUI#434

You might need to modify the getRecordingDirectory function in CoreServices to return the path of one of the record nodes (e.g., the first node).

Best,
Arne

Thank you Arne,

Thanks to your comment, I managed to do the modifications to get the prefix, suffix and date name of the GUI. I won't do any pull request for now as it needed several changes outside of CoreServices in addition of a small change in your plugin.

Best
