Default Allow using wildcards in project Save As... dialog

Please, add wildcards to Save/Save project as.. etc dialogs for Saving projects }and also for Templates, FXChains, (and maybe also Presets?)

somethink like for example
instead: "The First Song.RPP"
would be: "20200611 - MyBand - The First Song [44100Hz_WASAPIex_512spls].RPP"
using: $date - $artist - $projectname [$samplerateHz_$audiointerface_$buffersizespls]

example wildcards:
date, artist, projectname (that which is entered in SaveAs edit line),
samplerate (in Hertz), audio interface (ASIO, WASAPI exclusive or shared, etc.),
buffersize (in samples).

Plus 1 for this idea, but I believe such implementation requires some work at the system level since the project save uses system's default save as window.

For my project file names, I've been using recently the following approach: date-HrMM-Song Name, like this:
“20221027-1139-Suprema Rainha.RPP”

One day, a studio here that works with jingles for publicity sent me a job to insert my voice. I was called to sing a piece they were doing for an YouTube movie. I noticed they name their projects almost the same way I mentioned above. I found it very interesting because it keeps things in order of which songs are worked, and it's easyer to keep track of when the projects have been done. This is good for revisions as well. Besides, current versions of REAPER now allow you to insert a title in the project notes, and this title from the project notes can be used as a wildcard for exporting audio

Again, +1 for this.

Peace,

Edu Camargo

bumping the topic while there is some activity regarding wildcards for Recording and Rendering (in v6.73+dev0120).

bumping this FR.
We already have wildcards in many places in REAPER, the "save project" part deserves them too,
pretty please.

Wildcards for filenames in "Save project as..." (and similar ones, where appropriate).

And also in Project notes (Title, Author and Description.

Let us include variables like date, time, version, author, computer, user, and some NEW ONES like actual audio interface samplebuffer size, samplerate and bitdepth, maybe also actual audio driver and device.

We could end up e.g. with something like this:
projectname---$datetime-$user-$computer-$currentbuffer-$currentsrate-$currentbdepth-$currentadriver-$currentadevice.rpp
MyProject---20231118160034-akademie-dellnotebook-128-48-24-wasapix-maudiofastrackpro.rpp

which gives so much information of the project at a first glance (knowing at what samplerate and buffer size it is intended tosound right, who edited and saved this version on which computer,...maybe OS wildcard would be cool too

(in this example I use non-existing wildcards $currentbuffer(samples), $currentsrate(kHz or Hz), $currentbdepth (bit), currentadriver (name of driver - WASAPIX/S/L (Exclusive,Shared,Loopback), ASIO, ...) and $currentadevice (name) ).

Please...

Bump . . . for serious RECORDING this is a must:

Long time Reaper user. I primarily record songs, ditties, etc., and do a lot of recording in a single session using multiple project tabs. When it comes time to save everything it takes a LONG TIME to name and save the multiple project tabs. I want to save the projects to a folder with simple sequential names year-month-01, 02, 03, etc. This allows me to review and rename, or ignore, but still keep the original time/date stamped recordings.

Thanks in advance.
