How to change default filename parameters when using 'Save as' ?
Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2023 4:40 am
I do a lot of quick cropping, pasting, and then saving the cropped picture. XnView MP works great for this.. until I have to actually save the file. The default naming parameters are always "Clipboard 1.jpg", "Clipboard 2.jpg", etc. This means that if I happen to have another instance of XnView open, or close the application and then reopen it to save a pasted crop into the same folder, it defaults back to "Clipboard 1.jpg", and I have to manually rename the saved file every single time.
What I'm trying to do is have filenames save with different parameters by default, such as date/time (Clipboard-month-day-year_hh-mm-ss for example), so that way I never need to rename files manually to prevent that dreaded "Clipboard 1.jpg Already exists" dialogue box. I see something like this available in batch rename, but cannot find any setting for regular saving.
Is there no way to change the default filenaming parameters? I've gone through every setting 10 times over, searched the forums and google, asked GPT4, and even looked through xnview.ini, and I've come up with nothing. Am I completely stuck with having to rename files constantly, or did I miss a setting somewhere? Thanks in advance.
