Use the Find and replace option to select You could do that before the token rename or, perhaps better just in case removing the date from the name might result in some duplicates, do it as a second pass AFTER renaming. What I meant to write was that at some point in the process you need to remove the "wrong" date from the existing name using the "Find and replace" option. But it you use the C1 built in date filter options selecting the images and see what would need to be adjusted should not be too tricky in VissersĪggh. That said the chances are that year may be correct but Month AND date would be wrong. However the basic idea for the change is quite simple.įor example search with "" and change to "". You could also change the date using the find and replace option but that might require a little more pre-planning and some selections for images by their "Image Date" from the camera (if that was correct) and maybe allowances for Time Zones for images taken when travelling. So splitting the tokens as suggested seems like the best option.

In theory you could just use "Image Date" but so far as I recall to get the YYYY-MM-dd format option you have to use the full date with a time shown as well.

So "Image Year (YYYY)"-"Image Month(MM)"-"Image day of Month(dd)"_"Image Name". The "Image Name" token should give you the DSC_xxxx.nef part. The camera date will be represented by the "Image Year", "Image Month", etc. If you need to use the "Find and Replace" approach but are struggling to see how that might work for you just post a couple of representative examples of the start names and the required names and I will see what I can come up with as suggestions. Sometimes multiple steps may be needed to achieve the optimum desired result. However if you are using a numeric date format in the file name and the rest of the name also uses numbers there ae opportunities for unexpected changes unless some care is taken. It may be quite simple if, for example, you have the month name of "January" in the text and want to change to "December" for a set of selected images. This method will allow the change of a string of text within an existing file name and change it to something else. The alternative is a "find and replace" option which is basically the sort of thing a generic OS based tool would use. Assuming you are renaming from the original source files (not a later "output file" of some kind) you should be able to redefine the original naming convention you used and substitute the "Image Month" file for the "Current Month" field used previously.
