How to control capture filename

When I do screen capture, I seem to always get the default name capture_ddmmyy_hhmm.jpg.

I prefer iso-standards when it comes to dates, therefore I'd like to use the name capture_yyyy-mm-dd_hh.mm.ss.jpg instead.

How would I change this? The help only seem to include naming from the command line, or am I missing something here?

Thanks.

For all I know there's no way to change the capture file name. Indeed, a different default name e.g. "capture_yyyy-mm-dd_hh.mm.jpg" by default would be better. Such a naming would be easier to read and when sorting by name screen captures would be displayed in the order they have been captured.

No way, huh? Isn't that kinda' weird?
