Automatic filename for Capture files

When capture images "snapshots" and "Save as", XnView name the files like "Capture-#.jpg"

Wishes:

1) The posibility to change "Capture-#" for another name in Options, specially for other languajes than english.

2) Auto increase the # of the capture image is OK, but I think that when XnView detect a file in a folder with the name, for example, "Capture-5.jpg" ( a capture made in a past sesion of XnView), the # will start in 6

Thanks, Maximiliano

Adding option to use date and time in capture file name, ie capture_$yyyy-mm-dd$_$hh.mm.ss$.jpg.

What about this - fully customizable file name and number/date-time.

FAQ - Small guide for the capture command line options

That could work. I'd like more control of the date/time formats though. ISO-format (ie yyyy-mm-dd and hh.mm.ss) would be preferrable.

I agree. BTW in batch rename it's fully customizable, default format is <Date Taken [Y-m-d_H-M-S]> - for example: 2009-05-08_18-14-48.

...but I'll start a new topic for the date/time standards.
