Autoname Files during File Save?

[Wibs]

I am a a member of several genealogy sites and unfortunately many of them, when you request data, give you that data in a file that always has the same name. eg data.xls, so I am constantly having to rename files when saving.

What I would love, love, love, is a replacement for the standard Windows XP File Save dialog, so that when I download a file, that has the same name as a file in the folder I am saving it to, the app. automatically renames it, to data(2).xls, data(3).xls, etc, or, even better, the ability to set a prefix or suffix to the filename, containing some variable, such as today's date and time, so they would be data2010-12-06-19-45.xls, etc.

Does XYplorer do anything similar to this?

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the club,

XYplorer cannot replace the standard Windows XP File Save dialog, but once your file is downloaded as "data.xls", you can drag it with right mouse button to some folder and the drop context menu offers you an array of options to set a prefix or suffix to the filename. The number and date affixes can be defined as templates in Configuration | Templates.

Your example, data2010-12-06-19-45.xls, would require the following date template:

Code: Select all

*<date yyyy-mm-dd-hh-nn>
