Description kdebugtracker@rushvora.com 2022-03-31 18:13:18 UTC

In Configure, when setting the filename, using %T to insert the Window Title is not working as expected.
When I set "%T_Screenshot_%Y%M%D_%H%m%S", the output file is named "Screenshot_20220331_233057" for example.. as if "%T_" is ignored. When setting "%T_%Y%M%D_%H%m%S" as the filename, the output ends up being "Y0331_233309" instead.

In the preview field it shows the expected filename as "Spectacle_20220331_233057" as expected.

If you are using rectangular selection, there is no selected application where to get the window title from and thus it is ignored. If you capture either "Active Window" or "Window under cursor", there is an active application where to get the title from and it works for me.

That makes sense.. thanks for the explanation!
