Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by reading the existing output-filename pattern setting and its help text, then trace how recording start times are used to form filenames. Done means users can select Unix Epoch, UTC, or timezone-included date/time decoration and the available pattern options are explained in the help text.

Feature description

Add configurable behavior to the app which allows the user to select Unix Epoch, UTC, or TimeZone included decoration to the output filename of the recording indicating the start date and time of the recording.

Why do you want this feature?

Presently the filenames appear to be defaulting to local date and time of the device with no TimeZone included which is poor for records keeping and event matching.

Additional information

Presently the app allows you to specify a pattern for the output filename but does not include the components for UTC or epoch at the very least in the help box to indicate they are possible.
