Terrible Screenshot File naming in SL!

YES! You can change the screenshot name AND TIME AND DATE FORMAT to anything, like "Screenshot", "Screenshot 1", "Screenshot 2", "Screenshot 3", etc. by following these brilliant directions:

There actually are some options you can set without having to change the application resources, but I am not sure if they all work in Snow Leopard.

If you only want to remove the date from the file name, then all you have to do is type this into a Terminal window and log out and back in:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture include-date -bool false

You can also change the file format to something else with this:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type png
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type tif
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type pdf
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jp2
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type bmp
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type gif
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type tga
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type psd

Or even change the location:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/[username]/Downloads

And also remove the window shadow:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true
