Copying and renaming a file, adding creation/modified date

Help & Support
4

Oops. I knew I should have asked :wink:

That copy-and-rename is indeed a bit trickier.

Try

// https://resource.dopus.com/t/copying-and-renaming-a-file-adding-creation-modified-date/47181

function OnClick(clickData) {
    var cmd = clickData.func.command;
    var tab = clickData.func.sourcetab;

    cmd.deselect = false;

    var dest = tab.path + '\\! bu';

    cmd.RunCommand('CreateFolder NAME="' + dest + '" READAUTO=dual,nofocus');
    cmd.SetDest(dest);

    for (var e = new Enumerator(tab.selected); !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext()) {
        var item = e.item();

        var cmdLine = 'Copy' +
            ' FILE="' + item + '"' +
            ' AS="' + item.modify.Format('D#yyyy.MM.dd, T#HH.mm.ss') + ' ' + item.name + '"' +
            ' WHENEXISTS=skip';

        // DOpus.Output(cmdLine);
        cmd.RunCommand(cmdLine);
    }
}
