GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 670753
screencasts and screenshots use different filename formats
Last modified: 2012-02-27 10:56:13 UTC
It probably makes sense to make screenshots and screencasts use similar formats for the filenames. Right now we have: shell-20120224-1.webm Screenshot at 2012-02-22 18:28:25.png Also, it isn't really a "shell" screencast just a screencast.
Created attachment 208363 [details] [review] recorder: Use locale-dependent format for %d in filename Currently %d hardcodes a date format of YYYYMMDD, use the preferred format for the current locale instead.
Created attachment 208364 [details] [review] recorder: Add support for %t in filename pattern Similar to the %d format for the current date, the new %t format can be used to use the current time in screencast filenames.
Created attachment 208365 [details] [review] recorder: Change default output filename Use "Screencast at 2009-03-11 00:08:15.webm" instead of "shell-20090311b-2.webm".
The new filename looks friendlier, but is vulnerable to the problem mentioned here: /* If a filename is explicitly specified without %u then we assume the user * is fine with over-writing the old contents; putting %u in the default * should avoid problems with malicious symlinks. */

After some discussion on IRC we're going to change this to use the preposition "at" instead of "from" since "at" sort of makes it sound like the files are from the future instead of from the past.
As long as the change is in both places, right?
Yes, the change has been made in both modules. While we're at it - should both names be marked for translation?
