I'm a big fan of the PowerSave plugin for Blender and felt that I needed something for saving rendered images.

Going to Rendering -> Image -> Save meant setting the filename (I use dates and ids), and always setting the format from PNG to JPG.

You can find the function under the main Render menu (Render Quick Save), with the shortcut of Shift + Ctrl + F12.

With this plugin, you can set the destination directory and a customisable filename.

The destination directory is just a normal path.

For the filename, the plugin first passes the name through strftime() for date/time values.

See https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior for the various fields you can use.

Then it substitutes the unique id. This is why you need to have a double % in the filename as strftime turns it into a single %. If you forget to use two %'s then it will generate an error.

Default is %Y-%m-%d.%%04d.jpg which results in filenames like 2021-04-15.0001.jpg

You can also change the file extension to .png if you'd rather save PNG files.
