Steps to Reproduce

  1. In Settings > Advanced, change filename pattern to %CCYY-%MM-%DD/%hh-%mm-%ss
  2. Enable Replay buffer and set a hotkey for it.
  3. Start and stop recording.
  4. Start Replay buffer, save it, stop replay buffer
  5. Open recordings folder.

Expected Behavior

A subfolder called 2020-02-21 (current calendar day), with both recordings formatted as hh-mm-ss.

Current Behavior

The recording will follow the file name pattern properly and go into the subfolder, but the replay buffer will be saved in the root recordings folder. All forward slash and back slash characters are silently replaced with underscores.

Does this actually create a folder with the %CCYY-%MM-%DD name in the recordings folder? I wouldn't have expected it to create a folder at all.

What if you use a slash in the other direction (backslash)?

To quote my first post,

All forward slash and back slash characters are silently replaced with underscores.

Tested and confirmed this, and as an aside if you set the recording filename similarly:

%YY/%MM/Video %H-%M

Resulted in the folders being created and the video file properly name (in this test case, it was successfully written to F:\Video\20\04\Video 23-46.mkv), and it would make sense that Replay Buffer should do the same.
