Renaming token for release date - franksolo - 2016-10-25

Hi,

I would find it useful to be able to batch rename my video files and folders not only by their release year, but also by their complete release date in a chosen country, scraped from IMDB, in order to have, for example,

[1997.12.19] Titanic.avi

where 19 December 1997 is its US release date. Same applies for the folder.

Thank you!

Keep on the good work!

I am sorry, but including the release date wont happen since there are numerous ways to print it:

1997.12.19
1997-12-19
1997/12/19
19.12.1997
19/12/1997
19-12-1997
12.19.1997
12/19/1997
12-19-1997

which one to take for whom?

That should be chooseable, that means that instead of having JUST ONE token for "Release Date", one could use a token for the "year", other token for "month" and another for the "day", so that everybody chooses his own way to show it, exactly like other tokens:

eg. $Y-$M-$D

or. $D / $M / $Y

Wouldn't that be possible?
