Timestamps in filenames

I am trying to get accurate timestamps in the filenames generated by monkeylogic. It seems like the timestamp (HHMMSS) added to the filename format in the main menu is only updated when monkeylogic is started and not when the run button is pressed. This means that a) filenames do not reflect the actual start date/time of the session and b) if two sessions are run consecutively within the same instance of monkeylogic, they will have identical filenames. Is there any way to alter the naming scheme so that the date/timestamp added to the filename is determined by the time you press the 'run' button? This would also help avoid accidentally pressing "yes" when monkeylogic asks if you want to overwrite the existing file, since that only happens when the filenames are identical.

You are right about the timestamp added to the filename. The time should be determined when the run button is clicked. To make it so, add one line of code to Line 816 (or somewhere around it) of monkeylogic.m like the following.

Line 816:    if ~datafilename_manually_typed, MLPath.DataFile = MLConfig.FormattedName; end
Line 817:    datafile = [MLPath.ExperimentDirectory MLPath.DataFile MLConfig.Filetype];
Line 818:    if 2==exist(datafile,'file')

By the way, you can restore deleted files from the Recycle Bin, if you accidentally overwrite them.

Thanks Jaewon, this fixed the issue.
