I would prefer "Screenshot_from_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.png" Because it does not contain: * Spaces * Colons * Full Stops other than for separating the extention (.png)
Spaces can be annoying, because if you forget quotes around the file name in a shell command, it looks like two files for the shell that do not exist. Colons are problematic on Windows and other operating systems and therefore not portable. Full Stops are usually used to separate the file extentions: For example: .tar.gz is a file which is a .tar file but has then been compressed using gzip. Using dots for other purposes may irritate for examble file managers which use file extentions for example to autodetect archive files and then offer functionality to look into the archive for these kind of files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1054808 Title: Default filename for screenshots is problematic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-screenshot/+bug/1054808/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
