How do I add time/date stamp to my screen capture file names?
I'm on mac osx.
I'm trying to add time/date stamp to my screen capture file names. (at the moment it's just 'Picture 1' etc..)
I've tried the following command in terminal but have not had success. please help!!
defaults write com.apple.screencapture name "datestamp" at "timestamp"
killall SystemUIServer
Surely someone else will provide a better solution. Meanwhile, however, you might want to try the following script. Copy and paste the script into the AppleScript Editor's window and save it as an application. Then drop your screen capture files on the droplet's Finder icon.
on open theDroppedFiles
tell application "Finder"
repeat with thisFile in theDroppedFiles
set theFileName to name of thisFile
if (word 1 of theFileName is "Picture") and ¬
(word 2 of theFileName = word -2 of theFileName) then
set theExtension to name extension of thisFile
set P to offset of theExtension in theFileName
set theCreationDate to creation date of thisFile
set dateStamp to short date string of theCreationDate
set timeStamp to time string of theCreationDate
set name of thisFile to "Screen Shot " & dateStamp ¬
& " at " & timeStamp & "." & theExtension
end if
end repeat
end tell
end open

How do I add a date stamp to photos
How do I add a date stamp to photos
Make the Type tool active and enter the text.
If you have several photos that you want to add the date to, in full editor, go to File>Process multiple files.
In the dialog under "Labels", select "Watermark" from the drop-down, enter text/date in text box, then set up the other fields.
It's best to have the picture files in a source folder & have an empty destination folder to point to in the batch process. This will preclude overwriting the originals. Look at the top "Process Files From". -

How do i show time/date stamp at start of each clip
This may be a camera issue, not imovie, not sure. My (sony dcr-hc21) camera records but doesn't show time/date at start of each clip (my old non-digital camcorder used to show them for a few seconds). is there a way to get imovie to show these time stamps? I'm using imovie 3.0.3.
emac Mac OS X (10.3.9)Hi r
There are no stright forward - cost free way to get this to my knowledg.
- I think You can buy a plug-in for this. (Not sure)
- A quality redusing way is to copy from camera via analog cable to a
VHS-VCR then reimport to a fresh miniDV tape and using this. If You
just want some sec. with date and time You can cut between old and
new material but the quality change will be more noticable this way.
- Some people has two miniDV cameras and do an analog connection
via them. Smart.

How do I add time stamp to photo in photoshop?
How do I add time stamp to photo in photoshop? I have saved photos from a camera phone to the computer. They still have the META data on them (aka the date and time from when the picture was taken). How do I put them on there?

How do I time / date stamp photos from library
How can I print photos from library with a time / date stamp to use for legal purposes? Please help
All photos captured with the iPhone are date and time stamped, but not shown on the photo. Plus those metadata can be changed easily with modern photo editing software so it is not always admissible in court.
To post those to the pictures, you need a 3rd party app for that. Try the free Exifwizard app. -

SAP WM 6.1 : Barcode Scanning Time&Date stamp capture
Hi Experts,
Our client have new requirement: we enable the Barcode scanning functionality for Functional Location in Notification screen, when user scan the functional location we need capture the time & date stamp also. I am able to capture the functional location but not able to capture the date&time stamp of barcode scanning.
can any body guide me how to capture the date&time stamp during scanning.
Thanks
ChigariChigari,
How you accomplish this will depend on where exactly you are scanning.
If you are on a transaction screen you can simply add an additional property to the transaction to store the current date and time.
If you are scanning to a list screen then you can look at adding / updating the single match action and no match actions to add in a transaction to store the timestamp.
