Eh. I think he reffers to auto naming on save with date, not manually
I have an AutoHotkey script that drops the current date in ISO8601. I don't need timestamps often, so date is sufficient. I like to have manual control of file names since I very frequently do not want files renamed.
Cute related story: I taught my 6 y.o. son this macro so he can save his Krita art with the date (and then some keyboard spam ending in "poop", usually). The macro shortcut I set is `T so he now calls the date "ticky tee". Any set of numbers with dashes is a "ticky tee" to him, and if AutoHotkey is closed he runs to get me because "ticky tee isn't working, Daddy!"
Dammit, why have I never thought to use AHK for this? I already use the custom context menu script someone developed about 15 years ago (Favorite Folders? It's on the AHK/AutoIT forum) , I can just add it to that.
AHK/AutoIT are game changers. I feel naked on a machine without it, I'm so used to Ctrl-Middle -click to get to all sorts of things... Folders, scripts, tools, automations (like your date idea), etc.
Ticky-tee! Hahahaha, love it!
