I actually meant to NOT use QDateTime at all, but just a string.

Something like:
	"picture001"

Or a string like:
	" 1970-01-01"

but always use it as a string, not a datetime.

it is still no problem at all to create a unique string with the QDateTime, 
but just the creation of that string. Not use it afterwards like that 
anymore.
