First, we're adding date- and time-stamps to a set of files using date2name:

What is shown:

  1. Accessing "date2name" from the "Send to" context menu.
  2. Adding date-stamps to the two marked files.
    • The tool is using the file meta-data to come up with datestamps.
  3. Marking multiple JPEG files and applying "time2name".
    • "time2name" is an abbreviation for date2name --with-time.
    • The images get time-stamps from the second the files were created.

Never ever typing date- and time-stamps within file names again. This simple tool is a big push for my file management efficiency.
