You can also right click the image and click \"save as\" to name it whatever and save it wherever you want.

* Look ma! No mouse!
Launch SimpleShot using Ctrl+Shift+1, or change this shortcut in your settings (chrome://extensions/shortcuts)

* Clear the clutter
SimpleShot automatically names the files by date to clear the clutter
