File: copy, trim and add current date

Help & Support
4

The Copy command can rename files, but it is not as powerful as the Rename command. So we let a script take care of this. The button will work on all selected files.

// https: //resource.dopus.com/t/file-copy-trim-and-add-current-date/39902

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

    // cmd.RunCommand('Set UTILITY=otherlog');
    // DOpus.ClearOutput();

    var currDate = DOpus.Create().Date().Format('D#yyMMdd');

    for (var e = new Enumerator(tab.selected_files); !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext()) {
        var item = e.item();
        var cmdLine = 'Copy DUPLICATE AS="' + item.name_stem.replace(/\d\d\d\d\d\d$/, currDate) + item.ext + '"';
        // DOpus.Output(cmdLine);
        cmd.RunCommand(cmdLine);
    }
}
