You already have a file with the exact same date, appended with a timestamp which causes the following sequential ordering to think that's the highest number sequential ordering you have, and it uses that to increase it by one. Remove all screenshots in your folder starting with "Screenshot_20220623_" and it should work as intended. |
Created attachment 150098 [details] not even the pattern preview works I found that the %Nd substitution when saving a screenshot from Spectacle is not working. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Configure the following filename pattern Screenshot_%Y%M%D_%3d 2. Take screenshot OBSERVED RESULT The filename of the saved screenshot adds a sequentially increasing random number. Not even the filename preview works. EXPECTED RESULT The string Screenshot_%Y%M%D_%3d should create files like "Screenshot_20220623_001, Screenshot_20220623_002" etc but it does not. See attached screenshot.

It has also been happening for several releases of the desktop.
