Request / Suggestion: Snapshot 2.0

To keep this topic short and to the point, I want to suggest the following:

- Change the snapshot format to PNG.

Why? It cuts the filesize by around two thirds compared to BMP, is lossless, and, as far as I know, free to use.

The brief encoding time shouldn't be that much of an issue, and could even be used as a quick freeze frame, to signal the player that a snapshot has been successfully taken.

- Change the snapshot naming conventions to a date instead of an ongoing number.

Why? Right now, if you delete unneeded snapshots, it rips gaps in the ongoing enumeration, mixes new snaps with older ones and not every program sorts by file date by default.

Naming them by date, i.e. 2014-03-30-21-54-21-0001.png (YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-SS-ongoing number) or some kind of time-stamp would be so much better.

- Let us change the snapshot hotkey.

Why? I don't think this one needs explanation.

- Give us two different snapshot hotkeys! One with and one without UI.

Why? Because sometimes you want to make a panorama shot in the middle of a mission, without having to go through the options first, but usually, you want to be able to take quick snapshots of bugs and the like, where you'd need the Ui.

Thank you for your time.
