Modify: Change date/time using Multi-rename tool rules
I miss possibility to change date/time of files by the filename.
For example filename for "My photo 20120131.jpg" I would like to set date 31.1.2012 so in "Date" filed I will put:
Internal fields are not supported there, but you can use content plugins. The above would look like this:
[=tc.Name:16-17].[=tc.Name:14-15].[=tc.Name:10-13]
This will only work in the plugins part, so use the tc - modification date value.
Just note.
No preview is available, nor for the first file.
It is a little uncomfortable.
Instruction for other users:
Change plugin attributes: ticked
(click on More attributes)
Plugin: tc
Property: write date
Value: [=tc.Name:16-17].[=tc.Name:14-15].[=tc.Name:10-13]
It was tested and works (for FAT32 and NTFS) when writedate/writetime is selected.
TC only shows compatible fields. But if you enter a field manually, TC tries to convert the string value to the destination field as good as it can. But normally it makes no sense to convert a comment to a creation date.
