Excessive data in the naming of the image files uploading from the Clipboard #22

Issue: If I copy an image not as a file, but as a picture to the clipboard and paste it using the extension, then the uploaded file name will contain unnecessary information like CnP_ddmmyyyy_hhmmss. изображение

This naming of files is excessive. Due this naming style:

  1. The name stores data about the loading time, and this information shouldn't be in the web site where I am loading images. And I can't change the names of the files after uploading.
  2. I can’t see exactly or may be confused about which file I uploaded first, or whether it’s an image, or whether I uploaded an extra file
  3. The file names is long and often the size of the mini-icons of uploaded files does not fit.

Proposed resolving: Change the naming to image_xxx (like image_001, image_1 and etc) which will be reset to the initial value if the page will be reloaded or an another uploading will be performed. Make it as a switching option or make a syntax like some image editors have изображение

Note: Also as you can see I propose to remove CnP from the naming. I suppose it's like an mini-ad and this is your right to promote your app in this small detail. But this naming is kinda confusing for me and especially for people who don't know what is the Copy-n-Paste extension and trying to understand what does CnC in the image name mean.

Thanks for the feedback! I've also been looking to including a file renaming function and editable settings
