I personally prefer the current approach, what are the benefits of using a timestamp?
Would it be a good idea to make this configurable? I'm thinking of a textfield in the field settings where you can specify the filename (format) using tokens. This adds some flexibility, but it might also be overkill?

In our usage it provides some helpful context as to when the signature was created by just looking at the filename. We don't have to then go and check the file create date.
What are the benefits of keeping the current approach?

There's no "real" benefit, except preventing a call to the system's clock. But to be honest I'm not convinced of the timestamp usage, you could also display the file creation time when listing the files.

Sure we could list the file create time but that is overkill for our current usage. It is simply a "nice to have". I guess we got used to the original naming convention and found it helpful at times.
It doesn't seem like I am going to win you over, no worries, thanks for considering.
