Screenshot naming

[Natic]

Hello Squad,

I was thinking that it would be great if you can change how the screenshot are named to some format based on date and time, for instance "13:56:12_04/25/2015.png" or something similar...

Now they are sorted by numbers (ie. screenshot1,2...254 etc.) and if you delete one of those "numbered" screenshots the next screenshot you take replace that missing number. I know that I can sort my pictures in my screenshot folder by date to see them in order, but then its causing some mess in naming order (34-2-17-35-36...).

What do you think about it?

I'd prefer for them to be more ISO 8601ish and be YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS to ensure correct sorting, but yeah, something other than sceenshotX would be nice.

Aye, you'd not be able to have / characters in the filenames, at the very least, heh.

Well, I think that it makes more sense to start with date rather than time...

But I'm glad that you like this idea, so let's hope that developers will put this on their "todo" list

Are you agreeing with him? Because that's what that format is doing. Year, month, day, then time.

I support that suggestion, but I don't have any problems with the current naming scheme.

But ISO 8601 would be nice. Or let them choose

Maybe something like this:

Screenshot naming scheme:
[ ] continuous (e.g. screenshot42.png)
[X] ISO 8601 (e.g. 201407512-135412.png)
[ ] NATO (e.g. 121354Zjul14.png)

joking with the NATO scheme since it's as useless as the imperial scheme to sort files . :-P

As a first measure, a leading zero for screenshots 1-9 would already be an improvement.
