Snapshots: Timestamp in Filename
complete
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.

FWIW I looked at this in practise and it creates monster filenames thay I, at least, find awkward at best and incomprehensible at times

I would also very much like the option to continue using the original naming format either through a setting or debug option. I've used the serial numbering system for a long time and find the dates cluttering.

Really liked the simplicity of the previous serial name approach and find this new one clutters up filenames - too long. Can we have an option to use the old serial format or this new one? (debug setting even)? thanks

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

Derek Galaxy Adding details would be nice as metadata.
Some nice information to store:
* Region Name
* Exact location SLURL -- or better, local coordinates down to 0.1m
* EEP info -- because sometimes I use an EEP different from the parcel's default
* Custom lighting info (if any)
* SLT time taken (if I need to reproduce)

+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
