In Spectacle's "Configure → Save" page, you can set the template used for populating the "Save" filename field. Currently it looks like this, and you have to manually type the placeholders: Screenshot_%Y%M%D_%H%m%S In Gwenview's importer (type "gwenview_importer .", click on "Settings"), a similar workflow is implemented much easier, because the placeholders are in a more readable/longer format and you can just click on them. Port Gwenview's template input widget to Spectacle to improve the user experience. Note: The filename preview part is handled in Bug 381175. (Bonus task: Extract this into a reusable library.)

Git commit 431ea89f51ae79ca0686617d29a3129f130a1fb2 by Nate Graham, on behalf of David Redondo. Committed on 14/03/2019 at 17:33. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Make the filename placeholders clickable Summary: This allows the user to click the placeholders. First step to improve the filename template configuration. I also moved the available placeholders to the ExportManager. The SaveOptionsPage doesn't need to care about which options are present and we have to change them in only one class if we want to make changes. Further steps I plan to do are displaying a preview, improving the Layout (we had to increase the size already) and eventually using better placeholders. FIXED-IN: 19.04.0 Test Plan: - Click on placeholder - It appears in the LineEdit Reviewers: #spectacle, ngraham Reviewed By: #spectacle, ngraham Subscribers: ngraham Tags: #spectacle Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D19755 M +13 -0 src/ExportManager.cpp M +3 -0 src/ExportManager.h M +13 -24 src/Gui/SettingsDialog/SaveOptionsPage.cpp https://commits.kde.org/spectacle/431ea89f51ae79ca0686617d29a3129f130a1fb2
