Date option with photo layout
It would be nice to make it possible to add the date on the pictures in the Photo Layout.
Just like you add a photo or a text box but you can add the current date.
I'm using the same layout over and over again, and I'm uploading the images to a website.
My customers can't see at what date the picture is taken, so it would be really nice if this would be possible in a new version.

You can add a text label to the photo layout with a "{filename}"
placeholder, which will be dynamically replaced with the filename of the
saved image. Then use the custom file name under Settings > Premium >
General to create a filename with the date and time.

OK, I've added a text box with {filename}.
Now, under General I can check Filename to enter a custom filename.
What do I exactly need to enter here.
I only see a prefix and Start index.
This is the idea:
The booth is used on a daily base and anyone can take a picture.
Because I'm not always around, I can't change anything in the settings, so when someone is taking a picture, that day needs to be added on the layout.

If you hover the mouse over the text box, it will show a tooltip with
placeholders you can use.

Great, I didn't see that.
I've entered the date, but now the startdate is adding a 0 (and counting up) after the year.
I deleted the numers in the Start index but this didn't help.

Filenames need to be unique, so you need to add the time or it will add an
index

If you only want the date to show, the filename placeholder will not work

Hi John,
I already tried this.
Still, even with time added, it keeps adding an indexnumber.
I've made 2 photo's.
One at 20:27 and one at 20:28 (too bad an : isn't possible in the prefix)
The photo made at 20:27 has an indexnumber of 0
The photo made at 20:28 has an indexnumber of 1
Strange, isn't it ?
=====================
Is it possible that you can "add the current date" option in the next version ?

Sorry, I forgot the index is always part of the filename. You cannot remove
it

Can you give this a try and let me know if it works for you? I added the
date placeholders to the text label in the photo layout editor.

John, this works great.
Now I can add the date of the photo taken, even with hour and minute (if
needed).
I assume this download is a Beta version and I need to wait untill there
is an update available ?
Gr. Edwin.

You can use that version. I will be releasing this version on Monday anyway.
