Thanx for the great software guys 8) I have posted here a few times as a guest, finally it was time to register
A stupid question to start with, I am sure its answered but I searched for and and couldn't find it, sorry.

In 1.80.1 what happened to the screen capture filename being the date and also being saved automatically? (XP SP2)

Thanx its ok, I figured it out but my 2 points were


-for screen capture the default is capture-1, capture-2 etc and I have to change the option to make it capture_DATE

-why the default requires extra action of saving the capture

I also like the way some captures are named with: "capture_date_time.ext". Would this method be good for all default save names?

Saving captures with date/time by default sounds useful to me.

What about providing a template for the filename and using the same placeholders as for batch renaming. For example you could have "capture_<Current Date [Y-m-d]>_<Current Date [H-M-S]>" as file template.
Think this would make things very flexible.

I agree with Helmut.
