Need Suggestions For appending Date to Filename


  • Subject: Need Suggestions For appending Date to Filename
  • From: Jack Stewart <email@hidden>

For many tears I used a file naming protocol which includes suffixing filenames which I create with the current date. I use the format "/YYMMDD" for the date. (Yes, I am aware of the the potential Unix conflict using the "/" character).

I have been trying to think of a real simple way to create a keyboard shortcut which I could use to append this date string to any filename which I happen to be typing. I'm not having any great ideas. I think that calling Applescript is probably too slow but maybe I have the blinders on.

Thanks in advance for your ideas -- JAck
