Please add to Video Snapshots - code It is very convenient.
It will be good if such an item appears in the basic settings of VLC.

I think users will be very happy with such a small but very useful innovation.

For example we have movies Аватар.avi (cyrillic filename) and Avatar.avi (english filename). Enter $F_$T and take screenshots. Screenshot names in the first case (cyrillic filename): vlcsnap-file____home_userNAME_%d0%b5%d1%80%0%bb8%d1%84_ %D0%90%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%80.avi _00_00_002022-03-27...

My ideal filename would then be $F_$T where $F is the naked file name, without directory or extension. That's better (in Linux): vlcsnap-file____home_userNAME_%d0%b8%d0%b5%d1%80%0%bb8%d1%84_SuperMan.avi_00_03_142022-03-21-10h11m28s189.png :( But you can immediately see if the name of the video file...

Here are my main issues:: The default of adding a timestamp is pointless, since the host filesystem (in my case Windows 10) already provides a timestamp. VLC insists on appending either a sequence number or a timestamp...

In K-Lite Codec Pack there is a button frame back.
In VLC there is no such button
VLC has only a frame forward button [E].
Please add the button - Frame back.

For example we watch the movie SuperMan.avi If we take a snapshots in VLC they will have the following names: • vlcsnap-2022-03-19-12h32m36s393.png • vlcsnap-2022-03-19-12h33m55s053.png or • vlcsnap-00001.png • vlcsnap-00002.png But if we take a snapshots in K-Lite Codec Pack they will have the foll...
