Image Name Autofill

[CCV]

Hi people,

I would like to request that the File name, when saving Image as.., be automatically filled with the current Settings name. It is automatically filled when saving Settings, which is very helpful - even if it needs to be edited slightly in the case of changes through a series.
I think it would be easier to keep track of what I'm doing if names for Images automatically matched those of the Settings for them.

Thank you.
And thanks for the wonderful program.

Thanks Buddhi.

Now I've said it tho, it dawns on me to Copy the Settings name from Save settings dialog and Paste it to Image name.

Cool. Thanks people.
It worked well the first time, but doesn't automatically update to new (save as, or load) settings name.
Kind of still ok tho, since (as with save settings) I need change only the last number or letter in the string.
Maybe relaunching the program...? But, that doesn't happen often with my current explorations which generally means running the the thing 24 hours a day.

Still, it's a nice improvement. Cheers.

I know what you mean, I think there is still room for improvement
