Snapshots: Timestamp in Filename
in progress
Signal Linden
Create snapshots with a timestamp (Snapshot_2023-11-20-074526.jpg) filename rather than a serial (Snapshot_002.jpg) name.
Details
Second Life has long taken screenshots and saved them with a simple number suffix: _XXX.png/jpg. This makes organizing images tedious, as the filename doesn't necessarily match the order/time in which the image was captured.
There are also two formats, with the 360 snapshot feature including a bunch of ancillary information:
- Standard Snapshot - Snapshot_001.jpg
- 360 Snapshots - sl360_Linden_Lab_HQ_1_4096x2048_128_20231120_074526.jpg
There could be more consistency here, with the same pattern used for both. Or, if it's simpler: just add a timestamp to standard snapshots.

Adding location name, date, and other details automatically would be great!
Maybe even more data about the screenshot could be added as EXIF data?

+1 ISO formatted dates.
This is ripe for an OS contrib. If/when I have and if its before LL or others get to it before then, I'd like to do this as PR. I haven't contribed anything since the move to github (finally :p).

What is blocking me from doing any contribs is that I cannot compile or run the LL viewer on Linux. I was previously relying on a fork of the LL viewer that I could use to dev on and contrib "untested" code, but said fork isn't being maintained anymore.

Yes please!

This would definetly save time and create a logical way to sort them. Many times i rename them similarly to find certain snapshots
