Bug Description

In older versions gnome-screenshot just created files named like "screenshot-1.png" which was fine. But in newer versions it is always named with a long pattern that even includes the time and therefore a ":" on my system. This makes it impossible to upload the image to several hosts without manually renaming it. So i was looking to change the filename pattern which seams to be impossible without compiling my own version. I would strongly suggest to allow the user to define an own pattern or to avoid any format that includes the ":" character.
