The --output parameter cannot control the file name (additional elements get auto-added so you need to concatenate with mv to actually get the filenames you want...)

--output doesn't actually determine the output name, it's more along the line of --output-basename... I understand that this might be needed if there are multiple files, but if there is only one file it's very awkward to have metadata added to the output filename (and as a suffix after the extension no less...)

Would you be interested in fixing this or accepting a PR to fix it?

@TheChymera
Thank you for your feedback. I plan to address this in the upcoming update. Currently, we have a feature that automatically adds scan information to the output file as preferred by researchers, which is why it hasn't been modified yet.

I'm considering introducing two options for the output filename. The --output option could be used to set a specific output filename, while --prefix would set the subject name, with other scan-related information appended to form the full filename, akin to the current behavior of --output.

This change will be implemented in the next update.
