Having colons in image file names makes JIRA not upload my screenshots.
:(
Since this has already been fixed in upstream, at what point will these
changes be merged into Ubuntu and released? I'm open to adding a PPA to
make this work.
Thanks for your help!

Ok, now that the upstream pushed it (and added another patch for gnome-
settings-daemon at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740520 )
for 3.14, with a bit of luck it will percolate to Ubuntu Gnome in a
couple of years ;-).
My suggestion would be to simply ditch the thing and use shutter

Having similar problem using samba shares. Using colon in filenames
causes a 'file or directory not found' error when saving or copying to a

There's an ISO8601 standard for representing times, and this should be
followed. It looks like from the patch that the patch (2014-05-17)
conforms to this standard. I'm happy to see that this is being
addressed.

The problem with ISO8601 is that it uses colons : to separate hours, minutes
and seconds; although : are a perfectly valid character for the Unix
filesystem, they are not accepted in Windows. So you can't put the screenshot
on a NTFS filesystem nor on a shared filesystem (say, Dropbox) with a

Attached modified patch that also avoids spaces in the resulting filename.
Instead of a space an underscore is used.

And if I read well the source code, while the messages is localized (see

Clearly the best solution would be to make it user-definable (am I

If it isn't, please remove the patch flag from the attachment, remove

unsubscribe the team.

Because it does not contain:

* Colons

Spaces can be annoying, because if you forget quotes around the file

@David Planella (dpm) #5 : care to elaborate on that translation
workaround? Seems like a nice approach, but how exactly can I provide an
alternate translation to gnome-screenshot?

Definitely the ':' character in the file name was a poor choice. My
proposal would be to use -MM-DD HH.MM.SS.png, but it would make
much more sense to just let the users be able to customize it.

There are also many hosts that don't accept uploads with such file

uploading. In older versions it let you at least choose the file name

A quick workaround, if the date/time field is translatable, is to

This should be fixed upstream rather than here. Could you please file it
there?
The area to look at is src/screenshot-filename-builder.c, function
build_path. The string is localised, so there will be an impact on
translations.
