Good morning,
first of all, thank you for this fantastic piece software.

I can rename my files with the following format:
2016-04-04-12-34-56_whatever.jpg
I would prefer this:
2016-04-04_12h34m56_whatever.jpg

Reason is, I rename my files this way in Lightroom, using the "taken date".
But it does not work well for videos, they don't have a taken date and to correct this I use the "Modified (curr)" date in BRU to get the right date.
Having 2016-04-04-12-34-56.MOV with 2016-04-04_12h34m56.jpg does not sort well.

Question: Can I set BRU to rename using the 2016-04-04_12h34m56 format ?

Thank you so much for your help !

Hi, it can be done using BRU Javascript renaming but it requires a commercial license for BRU.

(I don't really know what I'm doing, but with a few samples...)

RegEx (1):

(.*)-(.*)-(.*)-(.*)

Hi, it is possible to do it with RegEx (1), but I think it needs 2 steps because you wish to rename based on 'taken date' ? (if understood correctly)
