What is the serial number shown in the "DETAILS.guid" column of some Phantomhelp CSVs. Thanks

@Yorkshire_Pud it's a unique id tied to a specific flight log. While not useful for most people, it could be handy in a case where you (for example) are storing flight logs in a database and want to ensure the same flight log is not stored more than once even if processed more than once.

If using Flight Reader to view your flight log data, you can hover over the column headers in the aircraft log to see the field description.

Look in the app and see what it matches to
That GUID is not found anywhere in DJI's apps. I discovered it in the flight log data -- amongst lots of other data DJI does not display in their apps.

Ahhh cool.
After being already caught out by that and similar mistakes, I have come up with a methods of checking for duplicated logs or logs in incorrect folders/SCV-with-incorrect-folder-numbers. Though the processes are a bit more complicated that checking a single column.
Once I find duplicates or 'wrong folder' entries in the output CSV I delete duplicated CSVs from the source folder and move wrong folder entries to the correct folder and correct incorrect-folder-numbers.

I make quite a few whoopsies lol.

Nice idea. Thumbswayup
 
Yep! And then there are scenarios where the same flight log has different filenames because someone copied and renamed it. That's what I mostly use that field for.

Naaah
In my case it's mostly down to my mistakes lol.
With regards to other peoples' logs, downloading them to the wrong folder is perhaps the biggest cause, Each folder is numbered and each file-name within each folder contains the folder's name.
I also tend to get rid of other peoples' additional'details' in the name and add my own.
I am left the folder number, the date/time-stamp and my details.
All the CSV's are then copied to a single folder for processing.

With my own logs it more often than not stems from there being CSVs from Phantomhelp, Flight Reader and TXTlogToCSVtool, sometimes I copied all the versions to the relevant common folder.
