How to rename a file to its “Date” value? - just “Date”

Postby copalbank » Wed Sep 16, 2020 5:46 am

Help, please: I'd like to rename pictures in a folder to the value in the "Date" field of Windows 10 Explorer. The pictures I want to rename have no exif, and useless dates on "Date Modified", "Date Accessed" and "Date Taken" columns. The "Date" column however looks like the accurate date they were taken. The question is: Can you please walk me through how to rename the files to their “Date” column, so that the name format equals (for example): 2000-12-28-18h50m40 ?
Thank you, kindly

In version 3.4 or newer there is the option "Item Date" in AutoDate (8) -> Type
You can also show the column "Item Date" in the BRU file list.
