I would argue however, that I think people can figure out the %n thing if it is explained --in a tooltip or so-- because that's not so complicated after all
Yeah, but there's a great mass of users out there who've been been conditioned to believe they shouldn't have to deal with anything more complicated than a mouse click.
So, maybe the way to do this is to have a preferences section which allows one to specify the expression for the incremental save, with options for whatever is possible (plain number, date, geographic location taken from your usb gps dongle). Keeps it both simple and powerful.
That's a great idea - the preferences entry would be a natural place to have the text or popup docs on the substitution syntax.
