Web clipper: Add ability to name screenshots

I have attempted to find a thread for this - apologies if I missed it.

I'd like the ability to name screenshots with the web clipper when taking them. For some pages with lengthy titles, and in notebooks with lots of notes, I end up taking quite a long time to find the freashly-clipped screenshot so I can rename it to something I will be able to find.

Quite right: That's an inconsistency. For all of the five other options in web clipper, you can edit the title of the note. It's quite consistent, however, that Joplin doesn't warn you when a note has the same title as another one because internally the two of them are assigned different IDs. No. 3 of your suggestions (cancelling clipping by pressing ESC) wouldn't be necessary if No. 1 was solved: All other options require clicking on "confirm" before a clip is created.

Yep, that would fix it for me, and the duplicate titles thing makes sense - that's more of a new feature I guess.

I am surprised by this inconsistency as well. The other 5 clipping options allow you to set the notebook, title and tags after you create a clipping. Whenever I take a screenshot, I always think something went wrong because it just closes abruptly with no option to define anything about the note.

It would be great to see this made consistent with the other clipping methods.
