feature request
I was not able to find in documentation if it is possible

now I have the saved file in format

Screencast_%d_%t
which generate something like
Screencast_12-30-2017_09:13:25 AM.webm
but I'll prefer to generate something like this

Screencast_20171230_091325.webm

( the general format )
Screencast_YYYYMMDD_HHmmss.webm
which is easier to save on a web server and create link to it automatically (no spaces and special characters involved)

Currently the placeholders are replaced by gnome shell (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/blob/main/js/dbusServices/screencast/screencastService.js#L296 - method _generateFilePath).
However, we could prepare the full filename in ESC already, so that we have full control over the template.

Add a custom _generateFileName function in utilrecorder (EasyScreenCa…
2c64aa6 
…st#188)

This replaces the default gnome shell functionality allowing
more flexibility: E.g. now all the placeholder of GLib.DateTime.format
are possible - with the exception of `%d` and `%t`, which keep their
old behaviour.

Additionally, whitespaces are replaced by underscore.

This make it possible to use now the template
`Screencast_%Y%m%0e_%H%M%S` in order to get a filename like
`Screencast_20171230_091325.webm`.

(Note: `%0e` needs to be used instead of `%d` for compatibility).
