Date is already in the metadata, it doesn't need to be in the filename.

- crazygringo 1y agoHave you ever copied a file?
- SAI_Peregrinus 1y agoYes, have you never edited the metadata? Also most filesystems these days preserve it when copied, e.g. my camera's EXFAT filesystem on an SD card gets the creation date preserved when I copy it to my PC or NAS, or between NAS & laptop later.
- crazygringo 1y ago> Yes, have you never edited the metadata? I don't even know what that means. And just because some OS's copy the creation date doesn't mean all of them do. Specifically, the most popular desktop OS -- Windows -- doesn't. (And it has nothing to do with your filesystem. It's your OS.)
- coldtea 1y ago>I don't even know what that means Obviously something like: touch -t 202309271530 myfile.txt
- crazygringo 1y agoAnd I'm supposed to do that manually for each of the couple hundred photos I copy...? I'm sorry if I have a hard time taking that suggestion seriously.
- coldtea 1y ago>Yes, have you never edited the metadata? Is your suggestion that people edit the metadata to get the sorting they want? madness...
