Autoname pasted image?

[Scott Kingery]

I've started experimenting with pasting screenshots into my tiddlywiki. This is an interesting feature with a drawback for me. When I paste, it loads my import screen with a tiddler titled image.png. If I am in a hurry and just click import then I've potentially overwritten another image.png.

Is there a way to instead have tiddlywiki automagically name my import as something like image-2019-12-13-09:30:12? In other words, image with a date-time stamp at then end. That would speed up entry, reduce overwriting and have the images be chronological to allow me to later fix a proper title.

Thanks,

Scott

Are you dropping the image file, using ctrl v or another method like import or using the browse widget?

Hi Tony,

Ctrl v

Workflow: take screenshot, navigate to my wiki, Ctrl+v

This presents the import page with image.png as the item to be imported.

In terms of easier solutions to implement that don't require hacking the core code, I'm thinking a button in the sidebar that could find "image.png" and rename it the way you suggest. So, one extra button push, but not too bad, maybe?

Hadn't thought of that. Nice idea!
