Hi, by default every screenshot got this name pattern :

Screenshot from 2013-12-13 14:56:36.png

But this introduce complications for various usage, ex :
- Samba transfert
- Some Ms filesystem
- Burn CDs/Dvds
- Sharing a screenshot to web ( ex, to upload them on FTP, speed share on ImgUR or ImgShack,etc ; attach them to a bug report ; also it depend website , but on most I saw it fails. Gmail manage it well, btw ... )

This is due to <space> characters and ':' characters in the filename.

...so, instead of renaming them at each trouble met ;  wouldn't be simpler to find a new name pattern working all the time for Web and other filesystem ?
