    Date Taken as a Prefix using Power Rename or Power Toys


    Hello: Is it possible to use Power Rename or PowerToys to rename photo files with a prefix of date taken? I can get the current date as a prefix to my file name, but can't find how to get the date taken. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    :)

    Can't uninstall Power Toys

    JoseBeltran, I was able to successfully install Power Toys from the Microsoft Store, so that is dealt with.

    Evidently, Power Shell is not connected to the app list in the Start Menu, either. As I said before, sfc, dism and chkdsk found no problems. How do I reconnect Power Shell to its links?

    Power Toys Download from Store -- Won't Execute

    Unpin that icon from your Taskbar

    Open your Start Menu and click 'All Apps' at the top right.

    Scroll down the alphabetical list of apps to Find Power Toys.

    Drag Power Toys from that list onto your Desktop, that will create a new shortcut on your Desktop

    Then, drag that new shortcut onto your Taskbar.

    That new icon on the Taskbar and that should work correctly

    Date Taken as a Prefix using Power Rename or Power Toys

    +1 for Microsoft PowerToys (Power Renamer)

    I have like over 200 (and counting) files where I need to change the file type. One at a time, forget about it. So I tried various "powerful" file renamers. All of them were complicated and none of them did the job, but they did screw up the file type and wasted a lot of time. (I did backups). So a PC Mag article suggested Microsoft Power Toys. My initial thought was, "Ha, still not at version 1 and I still remember when a Power Tools directory sync program screwed up." But after about 4 of these "advanced" tools bollixed things up, I tried the Power Toys version. Simple and effective. It doesn't try to read IPTC data to rename your photos, insert dates, or whatever. All it does is replace an old string with a new string, for file name or file type. Which is all I ever wanted. And it reads sub-directories, if you want it. Just select your files, right-click to select Power Renamer, and... that's all you have to do. Fast and simple. Win 10 Pro 64, 2H22 +1
