Export slice with timestamp

[Vince42]

I would like to specify an export path in the slices panel with the current date and time, so that I can compare different exports more easily.

In the corresponding dialogue I only see the variable "slice name" in the variables list. 

is it possible to create a new variable or is it possible to incorporate a timestamp into the path expression?

In the path components dialog, you can choose variables to add to the path name, or you can supply your own text by typing it in directly. That would not allow automatic filling in of a date/time, but you could add it manually.

Okay, so it will be manually ... would it be a good feature to create own variables and/or support some kind of timestamp pattern variables in text form?

[walt.farrell]

You can create your own variables, in some parts of the export dialog, but I think they would have static values in the current implementation. I'm unsure, as there doesn't seem to be any documentation about them.

Yes, having a timestamp capability might be nice.

So, I've been looking around and found this tread, there is still no support for timestamps in export path variables, right?

And it is only static values that are not shared in any way between export formats (like, you know, a variable)?
