Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: AHK script to insert date and time to file name

« on: February 18, 2014, 02:20 PM »

Hi guys, I just wanted to thank you for your comments and suggestions concerning my question (of inserting attributes:time_stamp into the clipboard, and eventually filename).   

@IainB - I appreciate the references on the proper functions to use. I don't think it will be so hard now for me to write a functioning script.  Check out http://www.autohotke...or-files-on-desktop/ for a super-simple method of retrieving file-path. Note that that script breaks if trying to use the hot-key with no file/folder selected.

Hi, I wonder if you could maybe mod this:

[Select]

^+d::  ; Ctrl+Shift+d outputs current date+time
   FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, yyyy-MM-dd HHmm  ; It will look like 2010-12-21 0353hrs
   SendInput %CurrentDateTime%hrs
   return

So that it would rather copy to the clipboard the ISO formatted timestamp as given by attributes/properties (rather than CURRENT timestamp).

Thanks
