File Tasks

Time

The Time task adds the last-modified time of each file to its filename, in HH-MM-SS format.

Controls

ControlDescription
SeparatorCharacter(s) placed between the time stamp and the rest of the filename
@ Start / @ EndWhether the time is placed before or after the existing filename

Behavior

The time stamp uses the file's last-modified time from the filesystem, reported in 24-hour format.

Examples

A file last modified at 14:32:07:

SeparatorPositionAdded to filename
_@ Start14-32-07_filename.ext
_@ Endfilename_14-32-07.ext
-@ Start14-32-07-filename.ext

Tips

  • Combine Date and Time tasks together for full timestamp filenames like 2024-03-15_14-32-07_photo.jpg
  • Put Date above Time in the pipeline to get the date applied first, then the time appended
  • Use @ Start for both to produce 2024-03-15_14-32-07_ as the prefix
