You could just name them in the save box...
Yup, but that takes extra 2 seconds! You know how much I could do with the time saved?!
Anyway, this would be nice
Based on this suggestion, I implemented this in my MIDI Recorder web app. I made it use the timestamp of the last note, rather than the time of save, so that you can tell if you've already saved a recording based on the file name collision that will happen, and so if you don't save right away the file name will still be meaningful when you do.
I'm not sure if I want this for jspaint, though. In Paint, there is clearly a default file name, "untitled", and although I have made other deviations from MS Paint, this brings up an issue of the title of the tab. Would I keep "untitled - Paint" but not actually save with that name? Or take the opportunity to change the default title to simply "JS Paint"? If I put the date/time in the tab title it would take up enough space to push "Paint" off of the tab, and would need to change over time (unless the timestamp is of document creation, which is less useful).
A point in favor of this: on Android when you save with the same file name ("untitled") it asks you if you want to "download it again" as if it's the same file. This will be avoided when a filename dialog is added to jspaint (as long as you enter a filename). (#55, #59)
"Workaround": You could just type gibberish; it's what I do when I don't want to bother coming up with a name (to avoid conflicts when merging folders (and/or the limit on the number of files it'll disambiguate with numbers))

Soooo, just set tab name "Paint -
You could just type gibberish
This is good solution. You can make this optional in setting. Then just generate 10 random letters and numbers and problem is gone
I would happily implement this if you could tell me where is "saving" and settings in the code ^_^

I'm not suggesting the app generate gibberish for file names; I'm saying you can do that as a user in the save dialog (unless you're on android, or have the dialog disabled). A timestamp would be better than random letters/numbers.
Every image saves as untitled, which gives me many "untitled, untitled(1), untitled(2), untitled(3)" :/ That can lead to problems - if I would want to move them to other folder, save new ones (that would have same name again) and move them there again, there will be problems...
It would be better if images saved as current date/time.
