YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable date format, as commanded by ISO 8601.

[–] Wes_Dev@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Largest to smallest unit of time. It just makes sense.

[–] cryptix@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

Sorting by date would be so much better with yyyymmdd .

"There shall be no other date formats before ISO8601. Remember this format and keep it as the system default"

[–] geissi@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For file names, absolutely.
When I’m asking what date it is I typically know the current year.

Well la-tee-dah, look at mister not-shitfaced-every-day here, bragging like a big man

[–] geissi@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

I can lie under the table, puking my guts out and still remember the year.
You need more training, son.

Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.

If you have years of files named similarly with the date, you will love the ISO standard and how it keeps things sorted and easy to read.

I have autohotkey configured to insert the current date in ISO 8601 format into my filenames on keyboard shortcut for just this reason. So organized. So pure.

[–] lukewarm_tauntaun@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Holy shit teach me your ways how do I do that

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Download Autohotkey, and create a new script. Paste these shortcuts into the script and restart the script:

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.

; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.

SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.

SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

:R*?:ddd::

FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, yyyy-MM-dd

SendInput %CurrentDateTime%

return

:R*?:dtt::

FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, yyMMddHHmm

SendInput %CurrentDateTime%

Return

Now, if you type 'ddd' on your keyboard, the current date will be typed out, eg '2023-11-23'.

If you type 'dtt' tgen the datetime stamp will be typed out in YYMMDDhhmm format, eg 2311231012

There are so many cool things you van do with AHK to make your work more productive. For example, rather tgan typing your email address a billion times, add the shortcut:

::add1::your.email.address@domainname.com

And then you can type 'add1' and hit space, and your email address will be typed out in full. Of course, the string 'add1' can be whatever you want.

I love you.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Are you familiar with AHK at all?

[–] lukewarm_tauntaun@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago
