Image filenames are very long and dont display well

[craggyh]

Can the filenames generated be customized?
I just need the format to be shorter to display neatly in my gallery browser card but the generated filename is something like platerecognizer_driveway_cam_jpg_2022-07-22_10-04-48 which is really long and messes us how things are displayed with text for thumbnails overlaying on top of each other etc.

I actually found a workaround - custom gallery card- https://github.com/TarheelGrad1998/gallery-card.
Use the caption option to convert "platerecognizer_driveway_cam_jpg_2022-07-22_10-04-48" to display as just "07/22 10:04 AM"

Hi @craigueh

Could you please share the yaml of the card you created with me? I'm having the same 'problem'.
Thank you in advance.

Here you go:

• theme: Backend-selected
  title: Vehicles
  path: vehicles
  type: sidebar
  badges: []
  cards:
  • type: custom:gallery-card
    entities:
    • media-source://media_source/media/
      menu_alignment: bottom
      maximum_files: '10'
      caption_format: '%d/%m %H:%M %p'
      file_name_format: platerecognizer_driveway_cam_jpg_%YYY-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S
      show_reload: true
  • type: vertical-stack
    cards:
    • type: entity
      entity: image_processing.platerecognizer_driveway_cam_jpg
      attribute: last_detection
      name: Last Detection
    • type: entity
      entity: image_processing.platerecognizer_driveway_cam_jpg
      attribute: vehicles
      name: Detected Plate
    • type: entity
      entity: image_processing.platerecognizer_driveway_cam_jpg
      attribute: watched_plates
      name: Watched Plates
    • type: entity
      entity: image_processing.platerecognizer_driveway_cam_jpg
      attribute: statistics
      name: Statistics
      view_layout:
      position: sidebar

I still have one issue with the _latest image not being parsed correctly. I don't know how to get around it. If I could disable the "latest" image being added each time a vehicle is detected that would also solve the problem.
