Filename and save folder settings do not work - cause found

Actually, today the save settings suddenly stopped working, forcing the save file name to be a random number. ( ex. 9f0c61c5-dadf-487a-9e96-33a5bcb635db.jpeg ). Also, the only destination was the default download folder.

So I tried restarting the Brave browser and reinstalling this extension did not improve the situation. However, it worked fine in Firefox with the same version installed.

Therefore, I thought the problem was only in the Brave browser when I checked the problem, I found that the cause was the recently installed Image Downloader extention. After disabling it, the problem returned to normal immediately. I am reporting this.

Thank you for reporting. This is a known issue for us, but your report forced me to re-think what can we do with that.
Finally, a fix to the problem when another extension is overriding file names is ready and will be introduced in the next major upgrade.

Hi, I'm having this issue now as well as of the last week or so. Fireshot does not generate a filename based on the template settings (currently only using %t). Instead the filename shows as a random string of numbers (f84b12e8-02be-44f9-b01e-104471a4cad2.png).

I am only having this issue on Chrome as it works fine on Opera. I don't have any other extensions or add-ons that I've installed recently that may be interfering with Fireshot. I want to say this happened after a Fireshot update but I was waiting to see if another update to fix it, but has not. Any help is appreciated!

Plugin version: 1.12.18
OS: Windows 10 Professional, EN
Browser: Chrome 114.0.5735.199 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Hello,

The only additional extensions I have are Bitwards (a password manager), Google Docs Offline, and Office - Enable Copy and Paste.

I tried disabling everything except for Fireshot just in case, restarted the browser, and the issue still persisted when trying to save.

I have tried reinstalling the extension (restarted the browser and disabled all other extensions too), but it's still giving me the random string of numbers.

Victoria, can we get in touch in TeamViewer to find a cause of the problem you mentioned?
