Request to add a variable with date and time in Total Commander 11

[Sir_SiLvA]

Looks good in TC11.00b3.

It would look even better if %$DATE% could be used in the pack files dialog to add the current date to the zip filename... (suggestion)

was kinda disappointed it didnt out of the beta 3-box

I have chosen a different approach: In beta 3, have added a new pseudo environment variable %$DATE% which inserts the current date in the form YYYYMMDDhhmmss. It also supports the same placeholders as the multi-rename tool, e.g.
%$DATE:YMDhms% and also the 12 hour format variations H and i, and 2 digit years y.
In addition to that, it allows any separators like dots or dashes. In the parameters field you can use e.g.
?%|$DATE:Y-M-D h.m.s|
It also supports partial strings like other environment variables with the ~ syntax.

It doesn't work for me.

You can already use [YMD] there (shift-F4 and F7)

My bad, I missed that , then the only question remaining is:
Why that [+] button wasnt added to beta 4 to the packing dialog
also as the dialog was changed for beta 4 anyway
(compressionrate for zips/tgz added)
