How to name file as HourMinuteSecond taken?

(1/2) > >>

cmori:
I just did a search in Screenshot Captor forum for filenaming, yet did not find exactly what I wanted. 

Ques.  How to name file as HourMinuteSecond taken?

When captures named, how do I set it to make filename of capture using Hour and Minute and Second taken so it looks like this:

140501.png  (indicating 2pm on 24hr clock)
084341.png (indicating 8am...)
etc.

So far as I figured out how to edit style, it comes out like this: 
8_43_41 AM.png
while I prefer this shorter HourMinuteSecond style:  084341.png
etc.  I don't want dates.

Or as an alternative, that will work for my purpose, can I set Screenshot Captor to number each shot taken consecutively from 000001 up?  In other words, the next capture has filename 000001, then 000002, 000003 and so on.  And when I turn computer on tomorrow, captures continue where left off:  say, 000270, 000271, etc.

I appreciate any solution easy enough for me, a computer newbie, to do.

Btw, I did try to set HourMinuteSecond using this code: %H%M%S
under The Basics, File Naming Template, at Default New File Name,
and I missed something as it came out like this:
%H%M%S.png
and next capture came out like this:
%H%M%S 002.png

As stated in my original question above, I would really like this format: 
140501.png  (indicating 2pm on 24hr clock)
or consecutive numbering:
000001, 000002, 000003,....

Update -

I tried something else to see if this works:

I put %time% in Default New File Name

then in Custom Date Format put
%H%M%S

Capture result 9_54_47 AM.png
while i wanted a 24hr clock and no underlines.

So now, all my questions reduced to: how to get time only without underlines?

So above filename will look like this:  095447.png

I feel so frustrated.  I don't have the patience or skill for technical stuff.  However, I always feel willing to try.  So,

I went through all the options for file naming to try what seemed intuitive - and think I got a solution. 

Drilled down through all choices, then under icon with question mark for other options, saw this: 
%customdate% - obeys custom date format (fill in below)

Put into Default New File Name:
%customdate%
to make it obey my custom format below.

Put into Custom Date Format:
%H%M%S
for desired 24hr clock.

Remove _ [dash] from Illegal filename replacement character.  It seems that supplies underlines.

Behold - that worked to get:
100706.png

Just what I wanted.

What a fantastic software!  My hat off to mouser for thinking of just about everything!
