Suggestion: Screenshot name to include system

It would be very helpful to insert the name of the current star system to the screenshot filename when screenshots are taken.

It would be helpful, simple and effective way for us explorers to sort everything and make the pics more easily referrable. Currently screenshot filename is something to the effect of "HighResScreenShot_#". If you have an extensive travel log going, you can decipher everything later on from timestamps but it's a hassle, especially if you travel through a lot of systems.

I believe there are a few characters that are not allowed in file systems but nothing too tragic. The "Sag A*" asterisk could be replaced with an apostrophe. The danger of mixups seems truly minimal. The running number # could still be just the next number.

Here are some suggestions for the possible arrangements:
"HighResScreenShot_#_System name"
"HighResScreenShot_System name_#"

A similar idea of marking the location has been proposed: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/215225-Please-store-location-data-in-screenshots
 
Could also offer a toggle overlay while in the camera suite. I use Steam to screenshot so the screenshot filename will always be based on steam's screenshot naming system; an overlay would look nice and work for all screen capture methods.
