Allow more flexible quick point {t} text
Lots of times when you add a not-so-quick-point you want just the date; but maybe also in a different or more compact format, maybe without spaces or hyphens or "_at_".
for example currently {t} expands to --> 2025-08-08 at 08:53
but maybe I just want 20250808
Then you have to edit the point & delete the time, delete "_at_", delete 3 hyphens. Quick?
I made a related suggestion on this @ https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/38061-display-any-other-fields-when-adding-quick-point but was declined.
BUT there is an existing mechanism in Locus for flexible date/time formatting - see settings > track recording > any-profile > track format name > Time format; and funny enough it uses the same {t} field name.
And more recently a new expert setting for the format of displaying a points timestamp @ https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/38448-default-for-new-point#comment-154426.
I like this idea 
I can't alter the subject once submitted, but a better title would be "allow more flexible quick point {t} text".

It turns out the setting for this was always there. No one suggested or had forgotten. Now it is moved from config.cfg to expert settings, and it actually works.
settings > Expert settings > Quick add point time format
for my example, set to yyyyMMdd
