L1zar created an issue (geany/geany#4458)

Currently Save actions for Instant Save uses this format to create the file 
names: gis_XXXXXX
There is no option to change this. (Except to try and alter the plugin code and 
recompile which is beyond most users.)
The issue here is Currently we have no idea when these files were created and 
if they are still useful. 

**Please if you would be so kind:**
1) Add an option to change the default file name.
2) Allow the use of date and time for the Auto-Created files
3) Allow an extension type to be added to the file name such as .txt or any 
other option.  
A simple format of 2 text fields and a drop down could allow this, especially 
if the name allowed the use of field-codes like {datetime} or random sequential 
numbers {999}

Below is an example of what we are referring to:

|___________| . |_______|                       |__________________|
 filename          file extension               if filename conflicts (dropdown 
with choices such as auto-number, datetime, time, random characters)

If the file extension is left blank it simply does not use an extension or add 
the "." after the file name.

Bonus points:
Add a checkbox for "delete empty files on close" to get rid of files that have 
been created that have no contents.

These features would be incredibly helpful to extend the already greatly 
appreciated value of the this plugin.
