Description Mircea Kitsune 2024-05-14 01:09:38 UTC

SUMMARY
Issue introduced in Plasma 6. When taking a screenshot with Spectacle, you'll be prompted to save it with the name "Screenshot_%Y%M%D_%H%m%S.png". Most likely some incorrect escaping and translation of the symbols occurs, causing things like %Y to not be converted to the actual year but displayed as is.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Open Spectacle to take a screenshot.

OBSERVED RESULT
When saving, the suggested file name contains the formula %Y%M%D_%H%m%S in it.

EXPECTED RESULT
That should be converted to numbers representing the current date and time.

I can't reproduce the issue. can you go to "Spectacle -> Configure... -> Image Saving" and check the format in which the file is being saved. I uploaded SS how it looks for me
