Description Carsten 2016-07-25 09:09:01 UTC
Pressing F10 triggers the action 'Create new Folder'.
The Default Name is 'New Folder'. I most cases this is not useful. I often see things like

New Folder
New Folder1
New Folder2

in the file hierarchy of friends and colleagues (and in my old backups). People are sometimes too lazy to choose a meaningful folder name. Later this leads to a cluttered home dir and sometimes frustration. I think it would be useful to provide a name which contains more information. IMHO the approach to choose folder names like <yyyy-mm-dd>-<project-name> (e.g. 2016-07-25-thesis-review-julia) for ad hoc projects is very useful to reduce cluttering.

Therefore I suggest to make the default name of a new folder dependent on the current date
in the format <yyyy-mm-dd>.

Examples I would like (in this order):

2016-07-25-New-Folder
2016-07-25
2016-07-25_New_Folder
2016-07-25 New Folder

Personal Opinion: I do not like spaces in names of files/dirs because it sometimes complicates things on the command line.

Reproducible: Always
