File naming: sequencing by date

Question

In the Filename Template Editor and Rename Photos (F2) function, I'd like to be able to sequence my file names by date, with the sequence beginning with 1 for each day, and incrementing regardless how many imports I do.
For example, the first image for January 2, 2008 might be called "08-01-02_001". On that day I may perform three or four imports, and the sequence continues to increment from 001 to however many images I import on that day. The following day the sequence automatically resets to 1.
If images are imported that were recorded on an earlier date, this function would have to increment from the highest number of the date the image was recorded (because this is how Lightroom's date function works). For example, if on December 28, 2007 I shot 243 images and today I import another image that was shot on that day, the file name would be 07-12-28_244.
(I currently sequence by month, manually specifying the start number for each import sequence, but I sometimes forget to change the sequence starting number.)
Thank you for all you've done. I can't imagine working without Lightroom.

Answer 1

I would like to see exactly the same enhancement. Perhaps for some file naming schemes it would be helpful to parameterize that function, e.g., "Resent sequence number [to xxx] whenever [date|month|year|camera ...] changes].
As part of that, I would like very much to have more options/control for the file organization. In particular, I would like to see yyyy/yyyymm/yyyymmdd (e.g., 2008/2008-01/2008-01-15 with the "-" being optional). Right now, the closest you can come to that is yyyy/mm/dd, which leaves too much opportunity for file/folder name confusion.
