Custom filename pattern

Are there already plans for a custom filename pattern as in youtube-dl? I would be very glad about it~

Interest still exists.

Does the NewPipe Extractor already know values like video id, upload date, and so on? I.E. Is there only an implementation for a UI to specify the output pattern and the logic to apply it using already existing values needed or does the extractor need to be updated, too?

Please at least add video id (like youtube-dl and yt-dlp do) to the default filename so that some connection with original video exists. Often later it's hard to find video by title.

It could also be stored in the metadata.

Storing in metadata is fine, but storing things like the video ID in the title is possibly better, since it makes it easier to convert to other formats (such as WebM for some image boards) and retain a direct link back to the source without needing to have the URL on hand everywhere/every time you post it, even months or years after downloading. This example is important, since some boards and sites have begun stripping/scrambling all metadata from uploads after finding that users had been embedding illegal content (like CP) in them and sharing it stealthily.

Invidious already does this and I thought it weird until recently when I started sharing videos I had gotten a long time ago and people had asked for the source. Then I realized how convenient it was, even if it cluttered the filename, especially when sharing topically relevant clips.

[opusforlife2]

Sure, I meant additionally stored in the metadata. Having info in the filename is too useful to give up.

[OkyDooky]

Then, I definitely support this. Having it optional for either or both would be very useful. Hope it gets added sometime soon-ish. Since it doesn't sound that advanced, maybe this coild be tagged with a "good first issue" label (unless it actually is complex).
