NameAsDate

NameAsDate is a speedy and easy-to-use software program that can help you organize files and folders by taking into account their time and date. This is done via integration into the Windows Explorer shell extension.

Before proceeding any further, you should know that the app is heavily filled with third-party offers at installation, but you can make a clean setup if you don't rush through the wizard. Just make sure to carefully go through each panel and decline all offers if you're not interested in these extra components. These are not mandatory for NameAsDate to work properly.

Once the setup is over, you are welcomed by a small configuration panel that lets you pick the exact entries you want to integrate into the Explorer right-click menu for files and folders.

It's possible to rename items as the current date or date and time, as well as date or time of last creation or modification, depending on your preferences. Once all changes are applied, you can start renaming any selected files and folders. They can be renamed in bulk mode, thanks to the fact that batch processing is supported.

There were no stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the software program didn't hang, crash or prompt error messages. It carried out renaming jobs rapidly while remaining light on system resources consumption.

Although it doesn't come loaded with advanced options and configuration parameters, NameAsDate offers a simple and effective solution to renaming files and folders in bulk by date and time. Unfortunately, the installation phase is tricky and may easily become off-putting to the casual user.
