Hello Steven,

I would like to suggest a small enhancement to the default image naming scheme.
Currently, Clonezilla generates image names in the format:

YYYY-MM-DD-HH-img

For example:
2026-10-30-15-img

Would it be possible to include the minutes as well?

Suggested format:
YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-img

For example:
2026-10-30-1557-img

The reason is that when creating multiple images within the same hour, the default names can lead to an image name conflict. For example, if an image operation fails and I immediately start another image job within the same hour, the automatically generated image name may already exist.

Including the minutes would make the image names more unique and make it easier to identify the creation time without having to inspect additional metadata.

This would be a small usability improvement while remaining fully sortable by date and time. It would also benefit users who perform rapid testing and benchmarking, since it is common to create multiple images within a relatively short period of time.

Thank you for considering the suggestion.

Best regards,

Ken
