I encountered this also, it appears that the new timelapse feature hardcodes the file name.

For me, I just wanted it to overwrite the current image every x.xx seconds. Your use-case (a custom sequenced filename) is trickier.

Either solution would require a small source patch.

@wkoffel you can simply call imagesnap in a loop and use the -w flag as a timer

Recommend umutbalkan's solution.
