How to append month names to YYYY-MM folders?

Postby ilikecats » Thu Dec 17, 2020 7:49 pm

I have a bunch of folders that all have the name of YYYY-MM e.g. 2020-12. I'd like to append the month name to them e.g. 2020-12 (December).

"Auto Date" won't work as some of the folders don't have corresponding timestamps.

Any suggestions? Thank you!

Its unfortunate, but this needs many settings and text. First in the Filters(12) to put checkmark only in the "Folders" and maybe "SubFolders". Then inside the "Mask" to put 20\d\d-\d\d and also put a checkmark under it in "RegEx", this to forbid renaming the files like "Cape-01". After this its important going to RegEx(1) and to put checkmark in "v2". Then its just putting the correct typing for your month names, so I make this RegEx(1) template for the editing ...

Match ...
Code: Select all
(-01)(?X)(-02)(?X)(-03)(?X)(-04)(?X)(-05)(?X)(-06)(?X)(-07)(?X)(-08)(?X)(-09)(?X)(-10)(?X)(-11)(?X)(-12)
Replace ...
Code: Select all
$1 \(Jan\)(?X)$1 \(Feb\)(?X)$1 \(Mar\)(?X)$1 \(Apr\)(?X)$1 \(Mai\)(?X)$1 \(Jun\)(?X)$1 \(Jul\)(?X)$1 \(Aug\)(?X)$1 \(Sep\)(?X)$1 \(Okt\)(?X)$1 \(Nov\)(?X)$1 \(Dec\)

That worked! I saved it as a preset in case I want to use it again. Thank you. :D
