Tagging screencaps with system name?

Longshot question here and I'm pretty certain the answer is "no," but is there any way at all to tag screenshots with the system name it was taken in? (Whether added to the file name, or perhaps some way to show JUST that on the image but no other HUD content, kind of thing?)
I'm sure the proper answer is just to get used to copying the system name and heading over to the folder and adding it to file names as soon as I take the shot... but man, I take a lot of screenshots to examine later, completely forgetting to address them until I've already gone several systems farther :(
EDIT ADD: I just want to put it up top that Micha clued me in that EDDiscovery does 100% exactly what I'm asking for for screenshot management, and more than I could ask!!
(Also for credit's sake, SMcA suggested "ScreenShot Changer" which looks like probably also works how I like... but I already use EDD, so it was a HUGE happy surprise to find it I could just use that.)

actually I am quite surprised in all honesty out of all the 3rd party tools etc available for this game there isn't one to do just that already

On the PS4 I take a screenshot of the system map as well as the main image. That way I can match the image to the map.

It would be nice if it saved the images with some sort of system info in the file name though.

Various third-party utilities (PC only) will do that for you, one example is EDDiscovery, which, IMHO, is indispensable if you're into exploring. It can also automatically convert the file format and place the screenshot in a particular folder.

Not aware of anything adding the system name as an overlay on the actual image. You should be able to do that easily enough with a script and imagemagick if you've got the system name in the filename already. Maybe feature-request to EDD?
