This patch is brilliant Angel.

I updated the conf.c so that %t is included in the help text then saving config files. I also updated motion-dist.conf.

This little feature is actually brilliant.

Now you can specify this in motion.conf

text_left CAMERA %t
target_dir /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
snapshot_filename cam%t/%v-%Y%m%d%H%M%S-snapshot
jpeg_filename cam%t/%v-%Y%m%d%H%M%S-%q
ffmpeg_filename cam%t/%v-%Y%m%d%H%M%S
timelapse_filename cam%t/%Y%m%d%H-timelapse
on_picture_save /usr/local/motion-extras/camparse%t.pl
on_movie_end /usr/local/motion-extras/mpegparse%t.pl

and the thread files now only need to contain.

videodevice /dev/video10
webcam_port 8084

and a few unique settings related to Motion detection.

Brilliant. Simplifies unique features.

The feature is available in 20051017-051019 and in next snap4.
