Prepend Date On Picture Names

Purpose

The purpose of this application is to take any image, and add a formatted date string to the beginning of the name.

Example Input/Output

• "20190213_123918.jpg" -----> "2019-02-13_123918.jpg"
• "Old-Castle-In-England.jpg" -----> "2016-10-11_Old-Castle-In-England.jpg"

Description

• Extract the date that the picture was taken, then add it to the beginning of the image name so that images will have a nicely formatted date to show when the photo was taken.
• If the photo name already begins with a date, but the date is in "yyyymmdd" format, the original date will be dropped in favor of the date in "yyyy-mm-dd" format

Instructions for Use

1. Any photo who's name you want changed should be loaded into the "load" folder
2. Run the script
3. Remove your photos with the changed names from "modified" folder
4. If any photos were unsuccessful, they will be in the "failed" folder

New Functionality

1. Ask the user if they would like to name all the files the same.
2. If they answer yes, prompt the user for the new name

• This will allow the user to put all the images of one person in the load folder, then name them the same name. For instance: "2022_07-13_James"
