A different image filename and optional subdirectory can be used if a user wishes.
Image filename pattern can be configured under.

Datetime Formatting details
Reference python documentation for more details on Format Codes
Datetime Time Zone details
Reference List of Time Zones for a list of valid time zones
If <Format> is blank or invalid, it will use the default time format “%Y%m%d%H%M%S”
tip: you can use extra characters inside <Format> for punctuation, such as _ -
If <TimeZone> is blank or invalid, it will use the default system time zone
The Prompts and Style used for the above [prompt] examples
Prompt:
1gir, white space, ((very important)), [not important], (some value:1.5), (whatever), the end
Selected Styles:
(((crystals texture Hair)))，(((((extremely detailed CG))))),((8k_wallpaper))
note: the Styles mentioned above is referring to the two drop down menu below the generate button
if the Prompts is too long, it will be short
this is due to Computer has a maximum file length
Add / Remove number to filename when saving
you can remove the prefix number by unchecking the checkbox under
Setting > Saving images/grids > Add number to filename when saving
with prefix number
00123-`987654321-((masterpiece)).png
without prefix number
987654321-((masterpiece)).png
Caution
The purpose of the prefix number is to ensure that the saved image file name is Unique. If you decide to not use the prefix number, make sure that your pattern will generate a unique file name,
Otherwise files might be Overwritten.
Generally datetime down to seconds should be able to guarantee that file name is unique.
[datetime<%Y%m%d_%H%M%S>]-[seed]

But with some Custom Scripts might generate multiples images using the same seed in a single batch,
in this case it is safer to also use %f for Microsecond as a decimal number, zero-padded to 6 digits.
[datetime<%Y%m%d_%H%M%S_%f>]-[seed]

Filename Pattern Examples
If you’re running Web-Ui on multiple machines, say on Google Colab and your own Computer, you might want to use a filename with a time as the Prefix. this is so that when you download the fouls you can put them in the same folde.
Also since you don’t know what time zone Google Colab is using, you would want to specify the time zone.
[datetime<%Y%m%d_%H%M%S_%f><Asia/Tokyo>]-[seed]-[prompt_words]
20221025_032649_058536-3822510847-1girl.png
It might also be useful to set Subdirectory the date, so that one folder doesn’t have too many images
[datetime<%Y-%m-%d><Asia/Tokyo>]
