Special rename of files with predefined formats of file meta data

[decker]

Hello,

to track various file versions I use a naming scheme like "filename - YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM" where the date and time is the time stamp of the file.

May be it is of some help to have something like this at a finger tip.

Best

My favorite way for this is to create a Portable File Association (PFA) as marked in the following screenshot:

You would need to adapt it to your liking by adding the time component to it.

for ease of copying..

Code: Select all

|"Append Modified Date n Time|:rename" \;*>::rename , '* - <datem yyyy-mm-dd hh.nn>';

colons aren't a suitable filename char, change the "datem" to "datec" if you wanted created date instead

Note that this is built-into the OpenWith menu of the fresh installation:

Code: Select all

|"Append modified date to filename" \;*>::rename , '*-<datem yyyymmdd>'
