My ScreenShot Captor configuration is
Mozart-%datetime%
but the name appear to be of the new image as
Mozart-%datetime%raymond-loewys-120th-birthday-ca-fr-us-nl-uk-ie-6388231276855296-hp.jpg
so the variable %datetime% is not recognized.

How can I do that ?
all I need is the prefix Mozart-%datetime%
and save the image as png .

:P


Note : the png extension is not important. Save as image I supposed logical to save in the format is in internet.

Contro, make sure you have the latest version of Screenshot Captor, and then tell me what you are doing to save the file that the %datetime% in the filename is not being expanded.

Mouser is not Screenshot Captor. Is the new program. That variable goes well in SC.
I am trying this with Save Image in Folder

Mozart-05_11_2013 , 10_14_25image.jpg

Mozart-%dd%_%MM%_%yyyy% , %hh%_%mm%_%ss%

But I don't get take off the word image....

Save Image in Folder seems to use only certain regular expressions and the help is not very appropiated for a dummy like me.

Maybe take out the "-" after Mozart and use a space instead of the dash.
And if that will not work, try "_" an underline.

Understood.
It's is not possible with the program until now. It's a future feature :
The items listed here could also just be user-submitted suggestions which are still under consideration. ;-)
Directory Creation
automatically create subdirectories based upon variables (pending feature)

http://mozext.achimonline.de/saveimageinfolder_hidden_prefs.php

It's a little complicated for me.

Can anyone help me ?
