Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/582

I'm using this wonderful tool to capture current state of working app, and I need to save timestamp about when I started to capture.
I want to add save option to save filename with date format (manually or pre-formatted), to prevent typo and make ease to manage gifs.

Hi, you can do that already. Just put your date format inside two question marks:
Video ?dd-MM-yyyy? -> Video 28-01-2020.mp4

Adding to this, I'd like to suggest including something like a question mark or "info" icon next to filename and when clicking on that, show a popup that tells the user that time may be enclosed within two question marks. (As a new user, I paused to figure this out and had to search for it.)
