Screenshot filename format string?

Postby afluriach » 20 Oct 2015 12:06

I am trying to the use the format string to customize the naming of my screenshots; I am using version 2.2.1. However, I noticed that even if the $t is removed, it still adds a timestamp at the end of the file. Since I am using a position stamp in the file, this is unwanted. It doesn't look like there is any menu option to disable this. Is this is a bug?

Thanks,

You have only the choice between sequential number and time stamp.
$t is the expansion for the title and can not be used for screenshots without sequential number or timestamp.
The names of the screenshots were not unique.

I tried sequential numbering as it would be preferable to a timestamp. It may be necessary to ensure uniqueness as the position code does not have either a frame or millisecond field.

There is also a problem that the fields in the position timestamp are not zero padded.
