How to change to YYYY-MM-DD format for %X-Date

Post by Samsung Note »

Is it possible to have the date format output for the %X-Date format in the Filename Mask Option be of the format:

YYYY-MM-DD

I believe this is the International Date format:

I like this format as it is less ambiguous.

The current format is MM-DD-YYY and thus 5-7-2014 could be May 7 or July 5.

Thank you from a first time user. Great program.

Right now it's not possible to change the format for EXIF dates in the filename mask, but we will consider it for a future release.
Thanks for your suggestion!

There's a new version, which allows to customize the EXIF date format. When editing the filename mask, just click the %X-Date tag in the help window, and a dialog will appear to choose the format.

Download the latest version here and let me know what you think!

Hi Phil
With the latest version, if you try to editing the filename mask with more 1 picture , you can't convert pictures because we have a error message.
The attachment Screenshot_1.jpg is no longer available
I editing filename mask with %X-Date[yyyy-mm-dd hh-nn-ss]
If i add %X-Date[yyyy-mm-dd hh-nn-ss]%N=0 , you can convert but it's a bad filename for me. I haven't two picture with the same exif tag
Best regards and sorry for my bad english
