    hello, just a very small feedback

    Screenshots are currently saved with the default format, "MapleRoyals dd-mm-YYYY hh-mm-ss.png", e.g. "MapleRoyals 01-04-2022 21-10-55.png"

    This format causes new screenshots to be sandwiched in between older ones because day in the month is sorted first. For example,
    • MapleRoyals 01-04-2022 00-00-00.png
    • MapleRoyals 01-05-2022 00-00-00.png <newer>
    • MapleRoyals 01-05-2022 01-00-00.png <newest>
    • MapleRoyals 02-04-2022 00-00-00.png
    • MapleRoyals 03-04-2022 00-00-00.png
    I like how it has been changed to save into a /Screenshots directory by default with datetime stamp now, but it is kind of difficult to find the most recently taken screenshot, it would be nice if the format can be changed so it always show a chronological form.

    Something like "MapleRoyals YYYY-dd-mm hh-mm-ss.png", to sort year and month first should do it I think.. so it becomes like this:
    • MapleRoyals 2022-01-01 00-00-00.png
    • MapleRoyals 2022-01-31 00-00-00.png
    • MapleRoyals 2022-02-01 01-00-00.png
    • MapleRoyals 2022-02-28 00-00-00.png
    • MapleRoyals 2022-04-30 00-00-00.png
    • MapleRoyals 2022-12-30 00-00-00.png<newest>

    Please do consider this, and thanks for the hard work all this while too :chillin:

    I’ve noticed this and also find it rather inconvenient when looking through my screenshots. No opinion on a change from me, but you can sort by last modified to combat this.

    yes pls, either MapleRoyals YYYY-mm-dd hh-mm-ss.png
    or
    Maple-mm-Royals YY-dd-YY ss-hh-mm.png :rolleyes:

    (also I can't understand why 11pm is followed by 12am then 1am...
    00:00 should be 0am or 12pm, and 12:00 should be 0pm or 12am~f3

    Wdym by 11pm followed by 12am? Isn't that how time works on a 12hour clock?

    If it has am/pm it's a 12hour clock, otherwise it's a 24 hour clock

    Mind if you elaborate what your trying to say?

    i meant:
    23:00 is 11pm, and the next hour is 00:00, by running numbers it should be '12pm', or starting a new cycle with '0am', but the standard now is '12am';
    similarly, 11:00 is 11am, and the next hour is 12:00, by running numbers it should be '12am', but the standard is '12pm'.

    so 11:00 => 12:00 = > 13:00 =>14:00 becomes 11am => 12pm => 1pm => 2pm,
    which makes less sense to me.

    So, your saying 11am-12pm should be 11am-12am and 11pm-12am should be 11pm-12pm??
    But that's not how time works though cause like you said, that's standard across the world
