Please bring an option, to name generated files differently and really uniquely with date- and timecodes in the filename. Instead of an ever increasing count like for example ComfyUI\_00381\_.mp4 / then 00382 and so on, I want to have the option, that the files will be named like ComfyUI\_12-31-2025\_17-35-23.mp4 So actually ComfyUI\_MM-DD-YYYY\_HH-MM-SS.mp4 with date and time instead of an increasing count. It can also be shorter without the “-” in between. The increasing number is an issue for my workflows, so I need really unique numbers that are not colliding. When I sort the generated files while still new files are being generated, the count will be reset to the highest value that is still in the folder and even start at 0 again if the folder is empty. This causes several filenames to be generated multiple times and I do get filename collisions every single time. It’s the worst when some files are landing within the same folder with mixed stuff, that have 80-90% the same filenames when copying newly generated files. Filenames with date- and timecodes offer unique numbers and are still some sort of increasing count, that will never collide with each other.
