I've been wondering if this could be improved about the screenshot file naming routine. I don't know if anyone will bother, but here it goes: When you take a screenshot, the filename comes out as: Random Game.2015-08-04 23.45.31 The last part is the time. Here's the thing, when you are taking lots of rapid sequential screenshots, the emulator gives you a message for each key press, but the end result is not a screenshot per every key press like it should. The problem is that since you can't have two files with the same name, then if you take two different screens in the same second, then only one screenshot will be created. To avoid this I suggest to add an additional millisecond counter, or just number the screens with regular numbers, such as: Random Game.2015-08-04 - 0001 Random Game.2015-08-04 - 0002 Random Game.2015-08-04 - 0003 Etc. Whichever is easiest.

just committed a fix. It took a bit of wrangling to get a solution I liked, since only adding the new number for duplicate seconds results in windows sorting them weirdly with the original screenshot below the other later ones, so I changed it to rename the original one at the moment there's a conflict. Since it seems like you're going to make ten million suggestions, why dont you put them all in one thread for discussion. We can triage them to the bug tracker as needed.

Thanks again zeromus. Sorry for all the requests, but I wasn't planning on making any actually. They just come up as I keep using the emulator, next time I'll only make one thread.
