Title:
Default filename for screenshots is problematic
Status in Gnome Screenshot:
Fix Released
Status in “gnome-screenshot” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Press "printscreen" and you'll get a default filename of:-
"Screenshot from YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.png"
Fine for browsing in nautilus and double clicking on, but this format
(specifically the colons) has been a bane for me for some time.
1.
Tab completion fails:-
-rw-rw-r-- 1 alan alan 751K Sep 23 01:10 Screenshot from 2012-09-23

# tab completion works as far as here
alan@deep-thought:~/Pictures$ scp Screenshot\ from\ 2012-09-2

Screenshot\ from\ 2012-09-23\ 01\:10\:33.png
# get to here and it won't finish the filename off.

2. scp fails.

3. Ubuntu one file link in thunderbird fails
See bug 1054803
Whilst I can see an argument for fixing the bugs in all those other
applications, wouldn't it make more sense to just not have mad
filenames created in the first place.
I propose:-
"Screenshot_from_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.png"
