Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2018-05-21 05:17:55 UTC

Pattern of saved filename can be configured in Spectacle configuration in "Save" tab as e.g. "Screenshot_%Y%M%D_%H%m%S".

Currently %Y, %M, %D, %H, %m, %S are calculated at the time of pressing "Save As" button and opening "Save File" window or at the time of pressing "Save" button.

The reasonable behavior would be to calculate %Y, %M, %D, %H, %m, %S at the time of capturing screenshot.

Makes sense, an can easily be confirmed by taking a fullscreen screenshot with displaying of seconds enabled for the clock widget.

Calculate date and time values for file name at time of screen shot rather than time of save

Summary:
Added property to ExportManager to hold timestamp of screenshot that is then used when creating the file name instead of the file's save timestamp.
