XY variables resolved in CFA with multi-selection

I got the following CFA:

Code: Select all

|"Timestamp MC with EXIF-Date = '<dateexif>'"\;*>::timestamp mc, "<dateexif>"
Which works as it should with only one file selected, but with multiple files they all end up with mc-stamps of the focused item.

Is there any other way (apart from a script with foreach aso) to have <dateexif> resolved for each item before timestamping it?
Or does the scripting command "timestamp" need a new flag to make this behaviour possible?

I thought it would work with

Code: Select all

::timestamp mc, '<datem yyyy>';
(single quotes) which does the by-file job with SC rename. But it does not work with SC timestamp. :( I'll check whether I can make it work...

Would be great and make things much easier, I think.

Thanks

Thanks for the enhanced timestamp cmd, just tested it, works a treat!
