@Marek - thank you for implementing this!

Implemented: Rename operation - insert timestamp with Ctrl+T, insert date with Ctrl+D

Ahhh OK didn't catch that!

Anyway, I think I'm getting used to using multi rename even for a single file, especially after I assigned a manual ctrl+D shorcut to it

Thanks!

Thank you for your suggestions. I didn’t realise I could use a simple rename operation with a dialogue box. That does seem like the right solution for me, but the [d] wildcard doesn’t work. I just end up with the new filename as “[d]_filename”, so the rename function doesn’t replace [d] with the ...

... and I'm aware that date has its own wildcard in Multi-rename so I guess my feature request applies to quick renaming via F2

I'm using either Multi-rename (which I love) or simply press F2 when renaming a single file (I believe F2 is the default shortcut for 'Rename: Rename' operation in FC but I may have customised it)

I frequently create copies of files and then append the current date to the filename. It would be very helpful if FreeCommander provided a keyboard shortcut that inserts a date during the rename operation.

Got it, thanks!

Hi! I recently upgraded to the Donor version to support this software - I honestly can’t imagine using my PC without it. In the 32-bit public version, I assigned F12 to open the context menu and used it constantly without any issues. In my exported settings from the 32-bit version, the entry looks ...

I see, thanks for taking time to post a reply

Hi, is there any way to set up a shortcut (or other fast way) which would insert current date (yyyy-mm-dd) when editing file name (other than using multi rename tool which is of course superb tool)?

For example, I hit F2 and am able to edit file name, then I hit 'Home' button so that I'm now ...
