Description Michal Ziabkowski 2025-08-19 10:17:07 UTC 
SUMMARY

When using the Export button, the generated filename still has raw placeholders instead of actual timestamps, e.g. Screenshot_<yyyy><MM><dd>_<HH><mm><ss>.png

Using the Save or Save as icons has the proper filename, as does using a hotkey to make a screenshot. It's just the Export button that is bugged.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Take a screenshot
2. Click the Export button

OBSERVED RESULT

The filename contains raw placeholders.

EXPECTED RESULT

Placeholders are replaced with relevant data.
