Timer Date Stamp

Timer Date Stamp
There are six types of date stamps that you can append to the timer filename.
   
   
    ##/##/##
Either DD/MM/YY or YY/MM/DD depending on date format setting
    ##-##-##
Either DD-MM-YY or YY-MM-DD depending on date format setting
    ######
Either DDMMYY or YYMMDD depending on date format setting
    ##/##
Either DD/MM or MM/DD depending on date format setting
    MMDD
 
    DDD
 
 
If the filename ends with a space followed by one of the above date stamps then PBK will replace the date stamp with the date the timer is next scheduled to run. For example if you setup a weekday timer with the filename "Simpsons - ##/##/##" and it records on the 13/12/2004 and 14/12/2004 the recorded files will be named "Simpsons - 13/12/2004" and "Simpsons - 14/12/2004". The date stamping works by changing the filename in the scheduled timer before the file is recorded. When the timer rolls forward to the next date PBK compares the date recorded in the timer filename with the date it is next scheduled to run and changes the timer filename if required.
 
The date stamps have been added to the Topfield Keyboard Enhancements filelist. To append a date stamp to an existing timer, edit the timer via the Topfield Timer Setting menu, once the Topfield keyboard is displayed move the cursor down to the filename and then to the end of the filename. Once the cursor is positioned at the end of the filename press the TimerList key to display the filelist menu and select the required date stamp.
 
If you are running the Tony's TimerExtend,  extend option then make sure you leave the _+ or _# at the end of the filename. eg. "Simpsons_+" becomes "Simpsons ##-##-##_+".
 
Timer Date Stamp - DD/MM/YY or YY/MM/DD
You can choose to stamp filename with the date in DD/MM/YY or YY/MM/DD formats. Dates in YY/MM/DD format will sort in ascending order correctly. You will find this option in the Settings Menu.
