[Solved] NewItems folder and date variables

Post by Borut »

In the NewItems subdirectory of XYplorer's Data directory I have created a file:

Log {yyyy-mm-dd}.txt

I expected to obtain a new menu item under New Objects item: Log 2013-01-24.txt

I am getting a new menu item: Log {yyyy-mm-dd}.txt

I also tried (just to be sure) with: Log {date yyyy-mm-dd}.txt

In vain. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, sorry - it works!

I was expecting that the date variable will be resolved already in the menu! It is however being resolved when the new file is being created, as designed.

Sorry for anyone's time.

No problem. This beautiful gem of a feature needs to be talked about once in a while.
