New naming convention for image files

Open Iznik285 opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Suggestion / Enhancement.

When I paste in a new image file, the new is automatically assigned, and follows the naming convention ._image.png . If I add another image it has two underscores and so forth. This is saved in the memory directory of the repository. I don't think it scales very well as you get longer and longer file names.

I would suggest changing the naming convention to <name of notebook>.YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ.image.png Using ISO 8601 date and time format. This will scale and I think make more sense.

Using Windows 10 / MF 1.52.0

It would be nice to make it configurable.

Maybe also ask for the file name when creating after pasting? Some meaningful file name is always better than a sequence number.

On using it today I found that there is a limit of 191 underscores. When you reach 192 it displays a broken image link rather than the image itself.
