As of version 2.3.2.5 you can use date/time format in a tag expression. For example, the value of the tag
expression can be "{day-1}[yyyy-MM-dd]" to show the previous day in the format yyyy-MM-dd.

If you select the Time of Day type then the Time of Day group of controls will be available. This includes
three sets of controls that enable you to specify the start time, end time, and value of three time ranges
for what you want Auto Screen Capture to consider as the morning, afternoon, and evening. The value can be
text and/or a series of macro tags. If you specify the evening end time to be beyond 23:59:59 then please
enable the "Evening extends to next morning" option so that the evening value continues to be used for
the following morning. For example, an Evening value between 21:00:00 and 03:00:00 can be used when you
want to dynamically change the filename between 9pm and 3am the next morning.
If you select the Time Range type then the Time Range group of controls will be available. This includes
four sets of controls that enable you to specify the start time, end time, and value of four time ranges.
The macro for each time range can be text and/or a series of macro tags.

You can add, edit, or remove tags. Each tag needs a tag name and a tag type.

You may also need to specify the date/time format value and/or the time range values

For example, a date/time format value of "yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss" would be translated
by your Date/Time Format tag as the current year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.

A tag using the "Time of Day" tag type would need to have ...
- Morning start time, morning end time, and morning value
- Afternoon start time, afternoon end time, and afternoon value
- Evening start time, evening end time, and evening value
... so that (depending on the time of day) your tag's value would be replaced by
the value defined for morning, afternoon, or evening given the associated time range.

You can use tags in the morning, afternoon, and evening fields of a "Time of Day" tag.
For example, you could have %hour%, %minute%, and %second% tags in any of the fields
if you need to customize your filename pattern even further. A "Time of Day" tag can
also be called by another "Time of Day" tag for creating an interesting chain of tags
that respond to particular times of the day. For example, you can create a "Time of Day"
tag which returns the value of %day% before midnight and %yesterday% after midnight
and then create a second "Time of Day" tag that calls the first "Time of Day" tag
between the hours of late evening and the early hours of the next morning.

A special type of date/time format tag called a date/time format expression tag
(or just "date/time tag expression") can be used to define an applied amount of time
either behind or ahead the current date/time.
