Rename File Name to YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS

Postby Robin » Tue Jan 26, 2021 3:26 pm

I can't seem to find a way to rename my 'img-099' files to the creation date. And I want it in the YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS format. I name my files chronologicalky because of why I take them. It seems I can append or have prefix, but not just the creation date. My lightroom allows me to do this, but I will be moving away from lightroom soon and need another solution.

Greetings Robin. The Name(2) must be set for "Remove" to first destroy the filename, then Auto Date(8) can have "%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S" in "Custom" for any of the dates in "Type" that you are needing.
