First off, an unhandled exception: Windows filenames cannot contain a colon (because, historically, Windows was excreted from one) so %T (%H:%M:%S) is no use to windows users and supplying it crashes nmap on my system.
Well crap! :) I suppose removing the current %R and %T and convert what is currently %r and %t (the same but without the colons) to that instead won't cause a problem. In fact, I much like this idea. Now would be the time since it's just been put in. What do you think?
Secondly an idea: I wonder what you think of making it simple to produce YYYYmmddTHHMMSS similar to ISO 8601 time [2] (similar, but without the hyphens or colons). This format is great for filename sort ordering in windows. With your scheme, that would be %Y%m%dT%t, which is fine, but it would be nice to have a short form for the (non American style) date as well as a short form for the time. Even better would be %<single_char> depending on the demand for such a thing. It might also be useful to include the timezone offset if that weren't taking it too far (a plus sign is legal in windows file naming)... Whaddyareckon?
I don't want to diverge too much from strftime(), and most of the letters are taken there :) Let's see what others think.
Regardless, I think it's already a very useful feature and I'm sure many will agree. jah
