Multirename by date works not properly

(1/2) > >>

Multirename by modified date give a date in wrong format out. A doublepoint : cant be in a filename. Filenames will be sorted by text, therefore have a date in a filename to be in wrong order with the year at front and the second at last (Example: "|Y]-|M]-|D] |h]-|m]-|s]"

The Core-Date works not and the main date "|Y]-|M]-|D] |h]-|m]-|s]" is using a wrong date which is not useable. It seem its the creation date. The creation date is often not useable because its changed after copy from a mobile device. Renaming by exif have i not tested yet, but i can say, the exif date have also to be in a wrong order like |Y]-|M]-|D] |h]-|m]-|s].

Best regards and keep he good work and make the best commander of all.

It depends on what regional format you have on you date..
But to remove unwanted characters from that add that character to the find /replace section  replace ":" with "" or "\" with "" or "-"

Matthias515566:
This helps me not because i cant write the year at first with search and replace. It will be very nice when you add some other options for renaming by date. The easyst way to make a change is that you setup the changing-date for the |Y]-|M]-|D] |h]-|m]-|s].

Sorry. Then I don't understand what the problem is.

Matthias515566:
The problem is, that the Creation-Date of a file is not needed for renaming. But your parameter like
--- Code: ---[Y]
--- End code ---
use the Creation Date of a file. Better is the Changing-date of a File. You just must changing the kind of Source Date which your main parameter use. The Plugins and more Parameter-Functions should just ignoring the local Date-Format.
I need a Date like 2016-03-28 18-05-05 in my files. I use such Dates later also in Excel and i need it sometimes to prevent lost dates after Editing some files.
