10
11
..
18
19
2
20
21

Or it would be sweet when you press the screenshot button it should take the screenshot and make a pop-up window to write the screenshot files name.

Silent Soldier: NO.

PaulCZ: Yes you're right. There should definitely be some kind of auto timstamp or datestamp for each shot. This could be tweaked in Soldat Config for instance. Good suggestion.

Well otherwise this Paul's idea is very simple to do(?).

The best screenshots are taken in the middle of the action, having to wait and type something would delay it and generally suck.

But first take, then write. That's what I meant in my earlier post.

eh, its not my cup of tea at all. sorry.

I reckon screenshots should easily be able to have a date in the title, and it'd be easier to code because it would just require reading the system's clock basically...

so the format would be:

ssX_10-1-06_Z

for example; where X is the screenshot #, and Z is the number of the screenshot taken that day. And SS obviously means Screen Shot.

or something similar.

Maybe.

I think it would be cool if the screenies went by server name maybe. It should be an option which one you want.

U13 Public2
U13 Public3
and so on...
