    This request would be first of its type.
    I want to the save the file to be Saved with just date and time. Example: "Screenshot_04012024_0825"
    and remove the appending of "TinyPilot" in the file name.

    Can you please point me to the code in the file where I can make changes?

    Thanks in Advance.

      Hi @a7673, thanks for your question!

      To edit the output filename of screenshots, SSH into your TinyPilot and edit line 393 of /opt/tinypilot/app/templates/custom-elements/menu-bar.html:

      "TinyPilot-" + new Date().toISOString() + ".jpg";

      You can edit this line to use whichever format you like.

      Updating your TinyPilot's software will overwrite this change, so you'll need to reapply the edit after every update.

      I hope that helps!

            I missed the actual filename, sorry about that! I've updated my original comment.
