Default Revise the format for file names of saved screens

When NinjaTraderŽ saves a screen capture, the date is at the end of the file name.

Example:

NQ 06-12 (100 Tick) 3_29_2012.jpeg

Suggestion:

Change the format of the file name. Put the 24 hour date time in a sortable, human readable format (hhmmss) right after the instrument name. In Windows Explorer the files will by default be ordered and grouped by Symbol Name, and within each group, ordered by DateTime.

Example:

NQ 06-12 (2012_03_29_074021ET) (100 Tick).jpeg

Or leave the date where it is and change it to yyyymmdd_hhmmss DateTime. Then the primary ordenng would be by instrument, then by chart type, then by date.

NQ 06-12 (100 Tick) 20120329_0740.jpeg

In any event, omitting the leading zeros from the day and month as is done now makes no sense.
