    Could you please put in a setting for selecting what the filename comes up when F10 is pressed?

    I'm getting boocoo files with the exact same name. You could put some predefined selections/placeholders in, but let us define the end file name structure.

    As for me, the release number is totally a waste. I'd like mine set up like this:
    <character name>_yyyy_mmdd_hhmmss
    OR, this would work nicely too:
    <map>_yyyy_mmdd_hhmmss
    I understand that rapid pressing would be a problem, so I wouldn't be opposed to that structure limiting it to 1 per second (I've never taken them at faster than 1 every 5 seconds, just saying). However if someone put on the end of that "_#", then that would signify a sequence number that would enable faster than once a second. Or someone could go:
    <character>_yyyy_mmdd_hhmm_#
    And you get a sequence number for each picture during a given minute, which would start over at the next minute.


    Update 11/10: I'm astounded that 104 people have read this sugesstion and not a single like, comment, or reply. This just makes file management simplier.

    Update 11/14:
    trakilaki, yes. When I'm barely between battles, monsters are coming, and I need to get a shot of what is on the ground... Yes. There isn't time in those situations to use LightShot.
    When I make level and want a snapshot with timestamp, there also isn't usually time for a lesurely LightShot.
    I would like to take pictures of items (chests, eggs, etc) that are on the ground to make maps. Can't do that with LightShot when you've a mob heading your way.
    F10 has its uses. I'm just proposing a way to actually ensure that there is never a file name duplication. I've sorted pictures from the destop to folders and then found that there are duplicate names.

    You are using F10?
    You better start creating screenshots on your own.
