Feature request: Print time in file name

Hi Simplify3d.

Thank you for a great program.

I think a really useful feature would be to add print time to the filename so when I (and many others) select a file on the SD card, it is possible to see how the print will take. I oftentimes prepare several prints and it is takes up time to enter the timer or other specific data individually. I am no master at programming, but it should be quite easy?

Example:

Part xxx [5h25m]

Re: Feature request: Print time in file name

The only to do this would be to incorporate the time into the file name that is saved on the SD card....and I can see that ending up not being popular with some users.
