Now I really laughed! Posted about 10 minutes ago... If it was 45 minutes earlier, your great tip would have saved me the urge to throw my Mac or myself out the window :-D I was looking for one extra important screenshot I took "whenever" and of course I didn't name it because why , that... In the end it was solved differently, but this really got me :-D Well, at least it will be useful for next time. Thanks a lot! :-)
