    Handling time-stamps and date-stamps in file names

  • Hi, I plan to add this to https://github.com/novoid/date2name which is a command line tool. I have not found out how to integrate command line tools on macOS to the context menu of the finder in a sane way like this tool provides for Windows File Explorer and probably GNU/Linux geeqie in future. It would be peachy if somebody has input on that. (I don't have access to macOS.)

  • integratethis

    Integrate programs or scripts into common tools like Windows Explorer context menu

  • filetagslib

    Utility library for providing functions related to the filetags file name convention: https://github.com/novoid/filetags

  • Currently, I do have to build a library which supports date/time tasks.

  • appendfilename

    Intelligent appending text to file names, considering file extensions and file tags

  • If that library is done and integrated to date2name and appendfilename, you should be able to fix all date- and timestamps whose elements are in the order of ISO 8601.
