You can use all wildcards listed here:

The tooltip lists some examples only. Maybe this is not stated clearly
enough.

You can use the file mask: $name_%NNN_%H_%M_%S to get rid of the
separator ":".

There is no mask like this, yet. It is simply the window title that is
used here. Only a few things are handled here, e.g. "/" in window titles
are replaced by "-".
What do you think of an additional checkbox like "Avoid blanks in
filenames". Or we need to create a new wildcard like $nb_name
(noblanks_name)?
