Export Workspace as Image Feature - Time Stamp in File Name Suggestion

FAQ
1

When using the Export Workspace as Image feature (camera icon in upper right corner) to create an image of the Dynamo Workspace, the default file name includes a time stamp at the end (yay!) that indicates the date and time that the image was created.

The time portion is given in 12-hour time, with no indication of AM or PM. If it is possible, I would like to see that changed to 24-hour time (so no AM or PM is needed) in a future release. I try to remember to change it as I am saving (when it is past noon at my location), but would appreciate it if I did not have to remember to do so. The 24-hour format will sort mulitple images of the same Dynamo graph in order of creation when sorting by name or by file type; the current naming will interleave AM and PM times.

Consider looking into datetime formatting available via Python which can access 24 hour syntax.

There’s a handy reference/guide here on using strftime() to format a prefix for a file using a datetime object.
