Date format for rename

Hi,

 

I'm still testing Bright Renamer and it's interesting. Now I would like to include the date (e.g. creation date) in the file name. For this I only want to use the date in the format YYYYY-MM-DD. Can I set the date format anywhere?

 

Old Name: File.txt

NeName: 2018-06-11-File.txt

Dear Stefan,

 

Thank you for contacting us. Date format can be easily modified using the Preferences menu:

 

1. Click Bright Renamer menu found on the upper left corner.

2. Choose: Preferences

3. under: "General", you have a setting: "Date format for file meta data:", You can use the: "+" button on the right in order to see hints about the available date patterns including preview for the current date/time.

4. After modification, close the Preferences menu and from now on - Bright Renamer will use the new format when adding Date strings for Meta Tags.

 

Please feel free to update how it works for you or if any further information is required - I will happily assist.

 

Best regards,

Sahar Radomsky

    Add Text: Insert Folder Name (not whole path)

    Discussion 
    My pictures are filed in folders named with date (YYYYMMDD) followed by a descriptive title based on event and/or people. For example: "20160523 David & Const Workers." When using pictures in slide shows, I would like to see what folder the pic came from. The path name is unnecessary, only adding to the length of the title. Is there an existing script that I could use or better yet could this feature be "added to the list?" This is a great app!!!

    Incredible application!!

    Discussion 
    To say that this application is "powerful" is an understatement. Incredible abilities with an elgant interface. This application goes way beyond photos and music and can be used to pull out all sorts of metadata- even from eml and other files. Customer support to match! Realizing I am the first to post- and I can't say enough good about the application and developer, it is easy to be mistaken for someone that has a realtionship with this company but I can tell you I have no realtionship with the developer, the company, employees or anyone else relate to this application. I found this application in the app store after days of searching the internet for a renaming solution that I was becoming increasingly convinced would require hiring a developer for custom programing at substantial cost. Thanks shiftbright for an incredible product and awesome customer support! CG
