I think combination of points A anb B will be good enough(and should be done on Beta2).
Point C also can be added.
Point D IMHO sounds bad. As a user I don't want to have any additional dialogs on such simple action. As a variant about copying path to clipboard we can add one more menu point, selecting which screenshot will be saved and its path will be copied to clipboard(it may be added in Beta2 if you agree).

Max, WDYT?

> As a first time user of browserim clicking Screenshot > Save looks like it does nothing.
> As it turns out it is actually saving funky timestamped .png's into my home folder.
> I think that is a bad default behavior.
> Here is my suggestion:
> A) prefix the file with browsersim- (making it easier to find)
> B) use a ISO date format instead of the current mix of _'s and -'s. i.e. 2013-04-17-103221.png or just 20130417103221.png
> C) if user have not set preferences (i.e. blank field) ask the user on his first Save > to specify which folder to save to.
> D) on Screenshot > Save show dialog stating the full path of the save file in a way that makes it possible to copy/paste the path (maybe even copy/paste it to the clipboard). 
> Option D could be made more smooth/better by having something like:
> Title: Screenshot saved
> Text: Screenshot saved to [filename].
>  [ ] Copy path to clipboard
>  [ ] Do this always and do not show this again
>   [Ok] [Cancel]
> And as usual have a "reset dialog settings" in preferences to reset this.
> Then on first users they are informed about where the file is saved and can get to it instantly - and experienced users can just dismiss this dialog and have the action they want every time.
