a screenshot contains colons which hurt MS Windows access
Last modified: 2015-06-29 09:02:07 EDT
Description of problem: When I take a screenshot (PRINT on keyboard) with gnome 3.10 a file with special chars in the filename are created. When I copy this file on a stick and try to access to this file from MS Windows, this isn't possible. The reason is are the colons inside the filename. This occurs on my german gnome. I don't know, if this happens on english desktop. The filename is "Bildschirmfoto von »2013-11-19 14:10:13«.png" So the colons in the time (hh:mm:ss) is not compatible with MS Windows. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 20 Beta How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. maybe switch to german gnome desktop(?), or happen this also on english desktop(?) 2. press the "PRINT"-key (on german keyboards "druck"-key) 3. it is a file in the local picture folder created: on german desktops: "~/Bilder/Bildschirmfoto von »2013-11-19 14:10:13«.png" on english desktops: "~/Pictures/..." Actual results: Bildschirmfoto von »2013-11-19 14:10:13«.png Expected results: a) a filename without colons (:), for instance a dot (.) "Bildschirmfoto von »2013-11-19 14.10.13«.png" b) or make in the gnome-settings a gui-tool, so that every user can choose his own template for the filename creation Additional info:
