The default filename is currently "Selection_%NNN" , where %NNN is a sequential counter. If I upload a link to a screenshot to a public forum, and it is easy to guess a link to another screenshot by changing the number at the end. ( Selection_005.png implies Selection_004 and eventually Selection_006 ) . Since I use the program for both personal and public purposes -- this could cause a personal screenshot to be easily guessed !

As it turns out, it is easily possible to add a random number to the end of the filenames in preferences , under main -> filename , by using $R, described as follows :

$R = random char (e.g. $RRRR = ag4r)

Thus the following has 3 random characters in the filename... perfect!

screenshot-%NNN-$RRR

I'd still support the ability to upload into a folder, feel free to ignore the whole security / random character thing.
