Rename - How to add date-modified to filenames

[Stamimail]

Old Filenames:
abc
def

Old Format: %1
New Format: [year:$date-modified:]-[month:$date-modified:]-[day:$date-modified:] - %1

New Filenames:
2022-07-20 - abc
2022-07-20 - def

works for me.

What about Presets for Rename?
Users will want to save and share with others common renaming tasks.

Another discussion about rename templates.

I find it easier to do these renamings and file attribute changes with programs like BulkFileChanger and Advanced Renamer, both are free for personal use.
Advanced Renamer for example can add location place names (nearest city, state, country) to filenames based on EXIF GPS coordinates, it was very useful, tried it yesterday on 5000 files.
What I can't find anywhere is a program that can sort jpeg files based on their compression/quality, from 100% to 50% for example. Couldn't find such feature in Everything, but that would be very useful to find out which photos are 100% and need to be compressed to 94% for example.

There's a program TagScanner that can do it very well, rename files from on audio metadata.

You might see what Bulk Rename Utility (BRU) can do?
I'm not sure, but I believe it can pull meta-data & rename file names based on that.
So if (& I don't know) "compression/quality" is stored there, it may be able to access it...

Does the following show the compression rate of your jpg files

• Search for (for example) c:\photos ext:jpg;jpeg
• Right-click the header of the result list
• Choose Add Columns
• In the left pane of the Select Property window, select Everything Properties > Picture
• In the right pane, select Compression
• Press OK
• Click the Compression column header to sort by compression
• Wait until Everything is done inspecting your files

I already did this a few days ago; just tried it again and it just shows 'Uncompressed', for some - LZW and for most - just shows blank field.

Indeed, it would be nice if such feature would exist within Everything. Undoubtedly there are many 3rd party tools around.
I, myself, use Directory Opus.
But, if it would be possible within Everything, one day, it would be great.

OTOH at some point we are entering the grey area where Everything is moving on to a full fledged Explorer replacement,
rather than being a very fast file finder only
Maybe we are already there...., I don't mind.

To add date-modified to filenames, use this format: [year:$date-modified:]-[month:$date-modified:]-[day:$date-modified:] - %1.
For JPEG compression/quality sorting, tools like online image compressor can help.

Thank you very much!
(BTW: sorry for the delay)

Please consider using the following to format the date modified:

<FORMATFILETIME:$date-modified:,"YYYYMMDD">

<FORMATFILETIME:...>
Date format
Time format

Thanks! Will check that out as well, of course. Really appreciate your suggestion.
