MavicaCopy.rexx is an ARexx script to copy jpeg files created by the Sony Digital Mavica camera (see The Amiga and The Sony Digital Mavica) without overwriting previously created files. The Mavica creates files sequentially with the same name (MVC-001F.JPG,MVC-002F.JPG, etc) so it's really easy to overwrite an older file. This script will change the name of the file so as to prevent overwriting. It will have a new name based upon the time the picture picture was taken. The new name of the file will be YYYY-MM-DD_HH.mm.SS.T.Jpg where:

• YYYY = Year the picture was taken
• MM = Month
• DD = Day
• HH = Hour
• mm = Minute
• SS = Second
• T = Save Quality in which
  • F = Fine
  • S = Standard

Additionally, since I've had some problems with the high-density disk drive I bought to use the camera with (see Problems using the Amiga and the Sony Mavica), the script will double check to make sure the size of the copied file is the same as the original file. If there is a difference, it will try to copy the file again, using the COPY option BUFFER=2, which I have found to help alleviate this problem.

MavicaCopy.rexx requires two external libraries, the rexxtricks.library, and the rexxreqtools.library. On Aminet, they are both in the util/rexx directory under the file names of RexxTricks_386.lha and RexxReqTools.lha.
