NAME
App::perlmv::scriptlet::add_prefix_datestamp - Add datestamp prefix
(YYYYMMDD-) to filenames, using files' modification time as date
VERSION
This document describes version 0.003 of
App::perlmv::scriptlet::add_prefix_datestamp (from Perl distribution
App-perlmv-scriptlet-add_prefix_datestamp), released on 2023-08-25.
SYNOPSIS
With filenames:
foo.txt
new-bar.txt
This command:
% perlmv add-prefix -a prefix=new- *
will rename the files as follow:
foo.txt -> new-foo.txt
new-bar.txt -> new-new-bar.txt
This command:
% perlmv add-prefix -a prefix=new- -a avoid_duplicate_prefix=1 *
will rename the files as follow:
foo.txt -> new-foo.txt
DESCRIPTION
Adding a datestamp prefix on filenames is one of the ways I often use to
organize documents. There is file modification time supplied by the
filesystem, but this information does not survive through git repository
or sharing across the web/mobile application. Hence putting the
information in the filename.
SCRIPTLET ARGUMENTS
Arguments can be passed using the "-a" ("--arg") perlmv option, e.g. "-a
name=val".
avoid_duplicate_prefix
Avoid adding prefix when filename already has prefix that looks like
datestamp (1xxxxxxx- to 2xxxxxxx).
date
Use this date instead of file's modification time.
prefix_format
Specify datestamp format, in the form of strftime() template.
The default format is "%Y%m%d-" or "%Y%m%dT%H%M%S-" if you enable the
"with_time" option. But you can customize it here.
prefix_regex
Specify how existing datestamp prefix should be recognized.
This regex is used to check for the existence of datestamp (if you use
the "avoid_duplicate_prefix" option. The default is
"qr/^\d{8}(?:T\d{6})?-/" but if your existing datestamps are in
different syntax you can accommodate them here.
with_time
Whether to add time (YYYYMMDD"T"hhmmss instead of just date (YYYYMMDD).

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
