Rename file command, cm_RenameOnly, cm_RenameSingleFile, hope to support parameters
Usage scenario, for example:
Code: Select all
cmd=cm_RenameSingleFile
param=%O_%|$DATE:Y-M-D_h·m·s|.%E
So I can quickly rename a file.
Now I can only use this command, which is not very friendly if it is a large file.
Code: Select all
cmd=cm_RenMov
param=/PB2GO2SHT="%O_%|$DATE:Y-M-D_h·m·s|.%E"
Are there other ways to quickly rename a file?

Have you tried using the Multi Rename Tool? Select a file, enter something like:
[T2][D][M][Y]
(see HELP for details)
in the NAME field, SAVE it as say "RenameToday".
Now you can use it in a button or menu or em_user command as
MULTIRENAME=RenameToday
(opens the MRT dialog)
or
MULTIRENAME==RenameToday
(executes the rename process and closes the dialog if there are no errors)

No, I need to quickly rename a single file for backup purposes, not batch rename

That is exactly what it does - MRT also works on single files, I use it all the time like that. Have you actually tried it?
Assuming you won't select multiple files before starting the MRT it will work.

I wouldn't use P and H. B1 is better then B2 for renaming. Instead of O2 I would write O5, because there is no point in replacing another existing file when renaming.
Code: Select all
param=/B1O5SGT="%O_%|$DATE:Y-M-D_h·m·s|.%E"

Add the date to the file/folder name under the cursor

If '_' is already at the end of the name, it will not be added:
Code: Select all
TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
mshta "javascript:close(new
ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject').getFile('%Q%N').name='%O'+('%O:~-1'=='_'?'':'_')+'%|$DATE:Y-M-D_h·m·s|.%E')"
wcmicon2.dll,32
Add the date to the file name under the cursor

I like the script method, it is easier and more convenient.

Your other methods are also very good, I learned a lot.

Do you mean my last button? Good.
Switching example:
Code: Select all
TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
mshta
"javascript:v='%O';new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject').getFile('%Q%N').name=(v.search(/_\d{4}(\-\d\d){2}_\d\d(·\d\d){2}$/)==-1?v+('%O:~-1'=='_'?'':'_')+'%|$DATE:Y-M-D_h·m·s|':v.slice(0,-20))+'.%E';close()"
wcmicon2.dll,32
Add/delete the date to/from the file name under the cursor

Yes, this is the first time I see JavaScript used in TC buttons

Well adding these should not be so inconvenient:
wincmd.ini:
Code: Select all
[rename]
Add current date_name=[N]_[T2][D]-[M]-[Y]_[h]·[m]·[s]
Add current date_ext=[E]
usercmd.ini:
Code: Select all
[em_adddCurrentDate]
cmd=MULTIRENAME==Add current date
menu=Add current date and time to item name(s)

Well adding these should not be so inconvenient:
There are two points here: slower and there is no check for '_'.

Just curious - Which javascript / ECMAScript version does mshta support?
Re: Rename file command, cm_RenameOnly, cm_RenameSingleFile, hope to support parameters

mshta is built around Trident's built-in JScript engine.
It mainly supports ECMAScript 3 with very limited features from ECMAScript 5.
