Description Finley Watson 2024-08-29 00:45:12 UTC 
ADDITIONAL INFO
I have not changed the default filename Spectacle uses.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Spectacle to "Use last-used capture mode" when opening
2. Capture a rectangular region
3. Close and reopen Spectacle. It should open in the rectangular region capture mode
4. Press ESC to get out of the capture mode, Spectacle window should show with a fullscreen image capture, not a region
5. Save the image. It saves a file, but

OBSERVED RESULT
File is saved as  Screenshot_<yyyy><MM><dd>_<HH><mm><ss>.png  (sometimes as Screenshot__.png ?) and is reported in Spectacle as being saved as Screenshot__.png 

EXPECTED RESULT
Date stamp is correct

Can confirm.

Although, I would think that if a user user cancels the screenshot in Rectangular region  mode, there shouldn't be created screenshot in the first place.
Comment 2 Finley Watson 2025-07-04 11:07:47 UTC 
Fixed by the changes in program behaviour in Spectacle 6.4.2 or possibly earlier
