Change timestamp from filename : help with pattern
Hi there, so i have a long list of converted videos and i want the modification/creation date to match the original, so i need to change timestamps. The filenames looks like this (i'm choosing random date/time here of course) : "2026-05-16 - 10.15.55 (variousname).mp4".
I tried yyyy-MM-dd - HH-mm-ss BUT then there's the (variousname) that make it fail. I read that adding * in the end make the app ignore the rest but it doesn't work in timestamp mode it seems.. What's the right pattern to ignore all after chose position/how to do this?

Hi jren,
You need to use the same punctuation present in the filename.
So, add the timestamp method, select the created and modified date and time, and select the filename pattern, using a pattern like <Year>-<Month>-<Day> - <Hour>.<Min>.<Sec>

Good luck!
