Hi (^.^)

May I know how to change filename (YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS) as below:

original file: 20180101_080554.jpg
to file as: 20180101_070554.jpg
(1 hour behind)

Thank you and your help is much appreciated

To avoid confusion and aid in solving this - is the MM (month) section 01-12 (Human) or 00-11 (Brain-dead JS)?

I've assumed that the YYYMMMDD is 'Human' style, and produced this script for you:

1. Start AR
2. Clear ALL Methods
3. Select a test set of files
4. With NO OTHER METHODS in place, select 'Script" from right down the bottom, beside 'Attributes' and 'Timestamp'
5. In the 'Script' Method box, click 'Show in window'
6. Ctrl-a to select all numbered lines, 'Del' to clear them
7. Copy everything BETWEEN the two '=====' lines below
8. Ctrl-V Paste into the Script edit box in AR
9. Click 'Close and apply script'
10. Observe the proposed changes (if you have 'Auto Test' ON, else hit 'Test Batch')
11. If satisfied with the results, Save the Method List - that's the funny icon last in the row above the 'Presets' Selector. Once saved, you can reload it for another run, even after changing all the Rules for a totally different job. You'll gradually build up a library of 'Presets' which will come in handy next time you get a similar task to perform.
========================================
var str = item.name;
var deltaHrs = -1;
var deltaMs = deltaHrs * 60 * 60 * 1000 /* Hrs to min to sec to ms */
var fixmnth = -1;
var Sccyy = str.substr(0,4);
var Smm = str.substr(4,2);
var Sdd = str.substr(6,2);
var Shh = str.substr(9,2);
var Snn = str.substr(11,2);
var Sss = str.substr(13,2);

var inStamp = new Date(Date.UTC(Sccyy,Smm,Sdd,Shh,Snn,Sss,0));
inStamp.setMonth(inStamp.getMonth() + fixmnth); /* Curse JS 0-11 Months */

var isoNew = new Date(inStamp.getTime() + (deltaMs)).toISOString();

var Fccyy = isoNew.substr(0,4);
var Fmm = isoNew.substr(5,2);
var Fdd = isoNew.substr(8,2);
var Fhh = isoNew.substr(11,2);
var Fnn = isoNew.substr(14,2);
var Fss = isoNew.substr(17,2);

var newName = Fccyy + Fmm + Fdd + "_" + Fhh + Fnn + Fss;

return newName;

(Spacing added for clarity.) - Your original Name data has altered exactly as required, and a test to roll back to a previous month and year has shown correct handling of that circumstance.

Hope that helps get you going, and gets you intrigued by just what can be done with AR

Brian.
